Vision Group Holdings

What Vision Group Holdings does

Vision Group Holdings, founded in 2014 and headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida, is the private holding company for The LASIK Vision Institute (LVI), a leading national direct-to-consumer provider of laser eye surgery. Operating a nationwide network of company-owned surgery centers staffed by independent surgeons, the company delivers seven LASIK procedure types — Traditional, Custom Wavefront Optimized, All-Laser Bladeless, Topography Guided (Contoura Vision), Monovision, Modern LASIK, and PRK — using FDA-cleared laser systems including Wavelight platforms. Vision Group Holdings retains ownership of all equipment and facilities, a structural choice that underpins both cost control and consistent service delivery across the footprint. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time surgical procedure fees, with supplementary streams from the Lifetime Assurance Plan subscription (recurring vision-maintenance coverage) and financing interest on installment plans offered to all qualifying patients. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer: prospects engage via website, social media content, virtual 20-minute consultations, and online scheduling, then convert through phone sales and same-day procedure options at a nearby owned center. Between 2015 and 2016 the company executed four regional acquisitions — Global Laser Vision, Advanced Laser and Cataract Center of Oklahoma, Fisher Eye & Laser Center, and Global Eye & Laser Center — extending its roll-up of regional LASIK and cataract practices under the LVI brand.
