SharpeVision

What SharpeVision does

SharpeVision is a surgeon-owned and surgeon-operated ophthalmology practice founded in 2012 by Dr. Matthew Sharpe, operating six clinics across Texas (Austin, Lakeway, Marble Falls), Illinois (Chicago), and Washington (Bellevue/Seattle, Renton). The practice offers a full-spectrum vision correction portfolio organized around three age-based "Vision Milestones": LASIK and PRK for ages 18-45, EVO ICL and Monovision for the 45-60 cohort, and Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) plus cataract removal for adults 60+. Procedures are performed using FDA-cleared all-laser systems — notably the Ziemer Z8 Femtosecond Laser for flap creation and Alcon NGENUITY 3D visualization for RLE and cataract surgery — combined with 3-D corneal mapping for customized treatment plans. The practice's Seattle-Bellevue flagship, opened in 2022, contains a Medicare/Medicaid-certified and ACHC-accredited ambulatory surgical center (ASC) dedicated to laser cataract removal and RLE, with additional surgical capacity supplied by partner facilities (Falconhead Surgery Center and Center for Specialty Surgeries in Austin).

The business model is direct-to-consumer, with free comprehensive consultations serving as the primary acquisition entry point. Revenue is generated per-eye through surgical procedures: LASIK/PRK at $495-$2,395 per eye, EVO ICL/IOL at $4,475-$6,669 per eye, and cataract surgery with IOL at $1,899-$2,304 per eye. Supplementary revenue streams include the optional LASIK4Life lifetime enhancement warranty, post-procedure recovery kit sales, financing revenue from Alphaeon Credit and Affirm partnerships, and patient co-pays on insurance-covered cataract and RLE procedures (honoring EyeMed, VSP, and Davis Vision discounts). Marketing channels include Dr. Sharpe's blog, SEO, a candidate quiz, patient testimonials, and Official LASIK Provider sponsorships of Austin FC, Chicago Fire FC, Seattle Sounders FC, and Texas Stars.

Growth to date has been organic with two rebrand-and-acquire expansions: Lakeway Eye Physicians and Surgeons (2024) and WA Valley Eye and Laser (2025). The practice reports 100,000+ cumulative procedures performed across its surgeons, 96% of patients achieving 20/20 or better uncorrected vision, and a self-declared #1 EVO ICL provider ranking in the U.S. SharpeVision remains privately held with no external investment or private equity backing disclosed.
