Eye Care PE Deals Hit Record, But Leadership Lags Behind

Corporate Optical Groups: More Than Just Elites When people in the vision industry think about corporate optical, the focus often falls on the biggest names—the 14 Elite-level groups with 75+ locations each. But the real story is much broader: 166 Mid-Market groups (10–74 locations) 1,043 Small/Emerging groups (3–9 locations) That’s over 1,200 corporate group structures influencing decisions across thousands of locations. The takeaway? Marketing strategies that focus only on the largest players miss an enormous share of the market. Connecting with the heads of these group structures is a smart move that can open doors to long-term growth.

This is a valuable reminder that the corporate optical landscape is far more diverse than many realize. While the Elite-level groups often dominate the conversation, it's the mid-market and emerging groups that represent a significant—and often untapped—opportunity for partnerships, innovation, and growth. Tailoring strategies to engage this broader segment is not just smart—it’s essential for anyone serious about scaling in the vision care space. #vision #optometry #optometrydata #ophthalmology #ophthalmologydata

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗲 𝗢𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗿𝘆 (𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁 𝟮𝟵 – 𝗢𝗰𝘁 𝟯, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱) Each week in optometry reminds us that innovation moves fast, and patient care is evolving even faster. From new therapies to tech-enabled solutions, it’s not just about what’s possible; it’s about how practices turn that progress into better outcomes and experiences for patients. 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 ✅ Patient QoL matters: New assessments for vision-degrading floaters highlight that understanding how eye conditions impact daily life is just as vital as clinical outcomes. ✅ Toric lens innovation: EyeCon 2025 showcased how new toric lenses help patients regain independence and confidence, closing gaps standard options can’t. ✅ Collaborative care counts: Integrated care between optometrists, ophthalmologists, and patients is improving results in areas like DME management and post-LASIK care. ✅ The horizon looks bold: Trials into post-LASIK night vision issues, glaucoma surgery, and nAMD therapies show a profession continually pushing boundaries. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗼𝘁𝘀 Optometry isn’t just about lenses or procedures, it’s about conversations, choices, and trust. Staying aware of innovation ensures practices don’t just keep up, they lead in patient-centred care. At Verovian, we’ll keep sharing weekly insights to help practices turn knowledge into meaningful action, because the story of optometry is written in how care evolves, patient by patient. Stay tuned for more weekly insights. #OptometryUpdates #EyeCareInnovation #PatientExperience #VisionHealth #DryEye #ContactLenses #MyopiaManagement #OptometryPractice #VerovianCares
