According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, there are approximately 18,000 practicing ophthalmologists in the United States. It is also estimated that there are over 32,000 optometry practices in the United States with more than 165,000 employees in total. The number of unique ophthalmology practices has been declining due to industry consolidation, with a recent study citing less than 6,000 practices in the United States, down from more than 7,000 in 2015. A similar study revealed that at least 89 optometry practices were acquired by private equity-backed platforms from October 2019 to October 2021.
Nearly 75 percent of adults in the U.S. rely on corrective eyewear, prompting annual eye exams; replacement lenses, frames, or contacts; and occasional therapeutic eye care services. A considerable portion of the population also experiences conditions that necessitate advanced care beyond what optometrists can provide, such as surgical interventions for age-related eye diseases like cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. The industry is expected to experience continued growth due to an aging population, rising incomes, and an increasing awareness of eye health. – Report “Eye Care Outlook Healthcare Industry Update – 2024” by Daniel Levin and Nick j.

With 13,000+ corporate contacts across 12,000+ affiliated locations, our vision care group database covers the full spectrum of group eyecare—from regional multi-location practices to national PE-backed platforms.
The eyecare market presents unique challenges for sales and recruiting professionals. Unlike other healthcare verticals, group eyecare organizations span both ophthalmology (surgical, medical) and optometry (primary vision care)—each with different purchasing patterns, organizational structures, and decision-makers.
Most contact databases treat eyecare as an afterthought, lumping vision professionals into generic healthcare lists with outdated information and no corporate-level contacts. Eye DataCONNECT was built specifically for this market.
Our optometry group contacts and ophthalmology group data are maintained by the same team behind DSO DataCONNECT—the industry-leading dental support organization database trusted by sales teams, recruiters, and investors nationwide. We bring that same commitment to data accuracy, freshness, and depth to the eyecare vertical.

The eyecare industry is experiencing rapid consolidation similar to dentistry, but most data providers have been slow to address this vertical. At least 89 optometry practices were acquired by private equity-backed platforms between October 2019 and October 2021 alone, and the number of unique ophthalmology practices has declined from over 7,000 in 2015 to less than 6,000 today. This constant M&A activity means contact information becomes outdated quickly, and generic databases don't track group affiliations or ownership changes. Eye DataCONNECT was built specifically to fill this gap, providing 4,000+ corporate contacts and 15,000+ affiliated ophthalmologists and optometrists with the same rigorous verification standards used in our proven DSO DataCONNECT platform.
Eye DataCONNECT data is triple verified and updated twice per month on a rolling validation cycle. This frequency matters because the eyecare industry is consolidating rapidly—practices are being acquired by private equity-backed platforms, optometrists are joining group practices, and leadership changes happen constantly. Generic databases that update annually can't keep pace with this rate of change. Our verification process ensures you're reaching current decision-makers at their correct organizations, reducing bounced emails and wasted outreach. With 8,000+ affiliated locations tracked in our system, we maintain comprehensive visibility into the evolving group eyecare landscape.
Yes. Private equity investment in eyecare has accelerated dramatically, with studies showing significant acquisition activity among optometry and ophthalmology practices. Eye DataCONNECT tracks group affiliations, ownership structures, and corporate relationships so you always know which practices belong to which organizations. This is critical for sales teams who need to understand purchasing hierarchies, recruiters targeting unaffiliated practitioners, and PE investors researching the competitive landscape. Our twice-monthly updates capture ownership changes as they happen, so you're never blindsided when a target practice joins a competing platform.
Eye DataCONNECT provides the most comprehensive verified database for the group eyecare market, including 4,000+ corporate contacts at group eyecare organizations, 15,000+ affiliated ophthalmologists and optometrists, 8,000+ affiliated practice locations, and access to 54,000+ vision professionals through our All Vision Professionals portal. Our customizable search features let you filter by name, address, phone, email, practice locations, LinkedIn identification, and website. Unlike generic B2B databases that treat eyecare as an afterthought, Eye DataCONNECT is purpose-built for professionals selling to, recruiting from, or investing in the consolidating eyecare market.
