Products and services

• LASIK Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis is a laser vision correction procedure that reduces or eliminates dependence on glasses and contact lenses by reshaping the cornea using the Visumax laser. Corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia.
• SMILE Small Incision Lenticule Extraction is an advanced bladeless and flapless laser vision correction procedure that uses a single small incision to correct nearsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia.
• PRK Photorefractive Keratectomy is a first-generation laser vision correction procedure that corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia by reshaping the cornea.
• RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange) Refractive Lens Exchange replaces the eye's natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to correct presbyopia, improve near and distance vision, and eliminate the possibility of developing cataracts.
• EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) Implantable Collamer Lens is a removable refractive implant that corrects nearsightedness with or without astigmatism without removing corneal tissue, placed inside the eye to work with existing structures.
• Basic Cataract Surgery Surgical removal of the clouded natural lens and replacement with a basic intraocular lens to restore vision lost due to cataracts, generally covered by most medical insurance.
• Premium Cataract Surgery Advanced cataract surgery including premium lens technology, specialized testing, surgical planning, and postoperative services designed to help patients live free from glasses and contacts.
• Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) The only intraocular lens that can be customized after cataract surgery using UV light treatments from the Light Delivery Device (LDD) to fine-tune vision to match lifestyle and visual goals.
• iStent Surgery Minimally invasive surgical therapy for glaucoma using the iStent, the smallest FDA-approved medical device, to improve fluid outflow from the eye.
• LPI for Glaucoma Laser Peripheral Iridotomy is a laser treatment for closed-angle glaucoma that creates a small hole in the outer iris to relieve or prevent increased eye pressure.
• SLT for Glaucoma
• YAG Laser Capsulotomy

Broad incumbents

• TLC Laser Eye Centers: One of the largest North American LASIK and refractive surgery chains, operating multiple centers across the US. TLC is a broad incumbent offering LASIK and other vision correction procedures, directly comparable in product category (refractive surgery) and patient demographic to Filutowski, though operating at national scale versus Filutowski's regional footprint.
• LASIKPlus: National LASIK-focused chain with dozens of centers across the US offering refractive surgery at price-point driven positioning. Comparable in core service (LASIK and vision correction) and patient demographic, but operates as a broader incumbent with national marketing scale versus Filutowski's regional premium positioning.
• Eye Health America: PE-backed consolidator of ophthalmology and optometry practices across the Southeastern US, including LASIK, cataract, and comprehensive eye care. Comparable service portfolio to Filutowski (cataract, refractive, comprehensive eye care) and represents the consolidator-side perspective relevant to potential exit scenarios.

Direct peers

• Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center: Multi-location ophthalmology and refractive surgery practice serving Arizona with LASIK, cataract surgery, and other vision correction procedures. Highly comparable to Filutowski in service mix (LASIK, premium cataract, lens implants), multi-site operating model, and direct-to-consumer patient acquisition approach, though based in a different region.
• Center For Sight: Large multi-physician ophthalmology and optometry practice on the Florida Gulf Coast offering LASIK, cataract surgery with premium IOLs, and other vision correction. Directly comparable to Filutowski in service portfolio (LASIK, SMILE, premium cataract, comprehensive eye care), Florida regional presence, and founder-driven operating model.
• Vance Thompson Vision: Midwest-based multi-location ophthalmology practice specializing in LASIK, SMILE, cataract surgery, and refractive surgery led by a well-known surgeon-investigator. Comparable to Filutowski as a surgeon-led premium refractive practice with early adoption of new technologies (SMILE, premium IOLs) and a focus on outcomes-driven marketing.
• Magruder Eye Institute: Florida-based ophthalmology practice specializing in cataract surgery, LASIK, and refractive lens procedures with multiple physicians and locations. Comparable to Filutowski as a Florida multi-location refractive and cataract surgery practice serving a similar patient demographic.
• Kraff Eye Institute: Chicago-based multi-location ophthalmology practice specializing in LASIK and cataract surgery with a strong emphasis on technology adoption and surgeon-led brand. Comparable to Filutowski in service mix (LASIK, premium cataract, advanced IOLs) and surgeon-led premium positioning, though serving the Midwest market.
• Hoopes Vision: Utah-based refractive and cataract surgery practice led by well-known surgeon Dr. Phillip Hoopes, offering LASIK, SMILE, ICL, and premium cataract with an emphasis on technology-first positioning. Comparable to Filutowski in surgeon-led premium refractive model, early SMILE adoption, and direct-to-consumer patient acquisition.

Regional players

• Florida Eye Clinic: Multi-physician ophthalmology group serving Central Florida offering cataract surgery, LASIK, and comprehensive eye care. Directly comparable in Florida geography and service mix (cataract, refractive, comprehensive eye exams), making it a regional peer competing for the same Central Florida patient base.
