Office-based surgery is changing what's possible for independent eye care practices. Dr. Allen Kim's OD-MD practice is proof.

After building an in-house surgical suite — in partnership with iOR Partners — his team saw a 35% increase in revenue in just one year. But the revenue is a byproduct of something bigger: the ability to guide a patient from their very first exam all the way through post-op, without ever handing them off.

That continuity changes everything. Patients feel safer. Trust builds faster. Referrals follow.

And the results go beyond the top line — premium lens conversion climbed from 26% to 47%, online reviews improved, and provider referrals grew.

Office-based surgery isn't just a financial upgrade. It's a complete reimagining of what independent practice can look like — where the OD is at the center of the patient's entire surgical journey, not just the front door.
If you've been curious about what it takes to build this model, Dr. Kim's story is worth a read Review of Optometric Business https://bit.ly/4vlldX4

For many optometrists, referring surgical cases out is just part of the workflow. But that's starting to change.

Office-based surgery is giving ODs a way to keep procedures in-house while maintaining the safety and compliance standards patients expect.

It's a meaningful shift, not just financially, but in how optometrists can be with for their patients through the full continuum of care.

Curious what that looks like in practice? 🔗

Cataract surgery has been reinvented multiple times throughout history — and we're standing at another evolutionary moment.

The next shift isn't about what happens inside the eye.

It's about where surgery happens.

Our latest blog explores why office-based surgery is reshaping eye care for both MDs and ODs, and what it means for the future of your practice.

What if more patients had access to refractive surgery — not because of a new technology, but because of a smarter delivery of care model?

In an OBS Insider article, Lance Kugler, MD Kugler Vision breaks down how an MD-OD office-based surgery partnership is changing the game. By co-locating an optometry practice within an OBS suite, patients stay connected to their OD while gaining direct access to refractive procedures — no referrals lost, no patients slipping back into the glasses-and-contacts loop.

The model is financially sound, compliant, and built for independence in an era of increasing corporate consolidation in eye care.
