South Florida Vision

What South Florida Vision does

South Florida Vision is a private, for-profit multi-specialty eye care practice operating as South Florida Vision Associates and headquartered in Davie, Florida. The practice delivers a unified ophthalmology and optometry offering across dozens of physical clinic locations spanning four South Florida counties (Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and St. Lucie), with services ranging from routine eye exams, glasses, and contact lenses to medical and surgical treatment of cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, retinal conditions, diabetic eye disease, ocular plastic surgery, YAG laser capsulotomy, and clinical research trials. A telehealth consultation channel is offered alongside the physical footprint.

The practice is built on conventional state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging and surgical technology rather than proprietary software platforms: Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph (HRT), fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green (ICG) angiography, fundus photography, ultrasound A/B-scan, and all-laser-assisted surgical capability. Patient-facing digital infrastructure is delivered through third-party integrations including MedFusion for the patient portal, Phreesia for online self-scheduling, and a WCAG 2.1 accessibility layer; there is no disclosed in-house technology product or AI/ML capability.

South Florida Vision generates revenue through three primary streams: professional fees from ophthalmology and optometry visits billed to insurance, patient co-pays/co-insurance collected at time of service, and retail optical product sales (frames, lenses, contacts). The practice accepts Medicare and most major insurance plans, accepts CareCredit for patient financing, and operates under HIPAA compliance with a designated Privacy Officer. The headcount is reported as 11–50 employees, the company is privately held with no disclosed parent, funding, or M&A activity, and it is actively operating while having consolidated its surgical footprint via the September 2022 closure of its Boynton Beach ophthalmology site.
