The evolution of office-based surgery (OBS) presents an unparalleled opportunity for optometrists to expand their scope, transition from referrals to retention and integrate into surgical care. The shift from ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) to OBS has made it possible for optometrists to provide surgical care with an ophthalmologist in their practice. iOR Partners' OBS model empowers optometrists to gain ownership of surgical procedures, meet the growing demand for advanced eye care, and positions them for exponential growth. OBS Unlocks Lucrative Opportunities: • Surgical Ownership: the OBS model enables fair and balanced partnership opportunities, giving optometrists greater control, independence, and financial returns. • New Revenue Streams: With 85% of annual eye exams performed by optometrists, routine eye can generate incremental revenue. • Patient Retention: OBS integration allows for patient retention throughout their entire care lifecycle instead of referring them out.
