Quigley Eye Specialists

What Quigley Eye Specialists does

Quigley Eye Specialists is a multi-specialty ophthalmology and optometry practice serving patients across Southwest Florida through 14 physical locations spanning Bonita Springs, Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres, Naples, North Port, Port Charlotte, and Punta Gorda, with corporate offices at 44 Barkley Circle, Fort Myers, FL. The practice delivers a comprehensive service line covering routine eye examinations, medical ophthalmology (cataracts, glaucoma, dry eye disease, diabetic retinopathy, keratoconus, corneal disease, vitreous detachment, pterygium, double vision, chalazion, pink eye), surgical interventions (cataract surgery, laser cataract surgery, LASIK, refractive lens exchange, oculoplastic eyelid surgery), and optical retail (anti-reflective coatings, blue light protection, polarized lenses, Transitions lenses) via an in-house optical shop and the MyEyeStore e-commerce storefront. Its advanced refractive offering is anchored by the iDesign Refractive Studio, a wavefront-guided diagnostic platform supporting custom LASIK procedures.

The business operates a sales-led, healthcare-services go-to-market model. Patients are acquired through physician referrals, insurance networks (the practice continues to accept the same insurance forms post-merger), direct online appointment requests, a Refer-a-Patient program via GetReferralMD, and organic social channels (Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram @seethelifeyoulove, YouTube). Revenue is generated across four professional-services streams — eye care services, surgical procedures, optical products (hardware sales), and LASIK — with pricing not publicly disclosed and reimbursement driven by a mix of insurance and elective/cash-pay surgical volume. Two wholly-owned ambulatory surgery centers, St. John's Surgery Center and St. Lucy's Eye Surgery Center, underpin the surgical revenue line.

In 2025, Quigley Eye Specialists merged with Eye Centers of Florida to form The Eye Associates, operating under the corporate umbrella of Eye Health America. The legal entity "Quigley Eye" is privately held (no public ticker disclosed), and the practice has earned back-to-back Top Doc recognition in the Cataract Surgery category from Naples Illustrated in 2022 and 2023. Subsidiaries include Community Eye Center (an acquired, brand-retained eye care unit), St. John's Surgery Center, and St. Lucy's Eye Surgery Center.
