Triangle Visions Optometry

What Triangle Visions Optometry does

Triangle Visions Optometry is a privately-held, multi-location optometry practice group founded in 1973 in Durham and Apex, North Carolina. The group operates 30+ physical office locations across North Carolina (Apex, Asheville, Cary x3, Chapel Hill, Charlotte, Durham, Gastonia, Havelock, Hickory, High Point, Hillsborough, Kernersville, Lexington x2, Lillington, Lumberton, Raleigh, Salisbury, Sanford, Southern Pines, Statesville, Thomasville, Winston-Salem) and South Carolina (Simpsonville/Five Forks, Greenwood, Greer). It serves individual consumer-patients seeking routine and specialized eye care, with no enterprise or B2B segment. Service offerings include comprehensive eye examinations, pediatric eye care, orthokeratology (Ortho-K) specialty contact lens fitting, vision therapy and rehabilitation, dry eye treatment, ocular disease management (glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy), and emergency eye exams. The retail product line comprises prescription lenses and frames, contact lenses (daily/monthly/toric/multifocal/specialty), eye drops and solutions, and Nuance Audio Glasses. The group has grown through a combination of organic location openings and tuck-in acquisitions of independent practices — most recently Harper Eye Care (2017), Desmone Family Eye Care (2018), and the Five Forks/Dr. Johnson onboarding (2023) — while retaining acquired sub-brands including Charlotte Optometric Eye Clinic and Eyecare Group (High Point, Lexington, Wallburg).

The practice's core technology is described as advanced state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment used for comprehensive eye examinations and ocular disease detection, but no proprietary platform, AI/ML system, or software product is disclosed. Operations are physician-staffed at each location; named clinical leaders include Eric Rodgers, Keith Boan, Brett Miller, and Van Vo. The group is in full compliance with the No Surprises Act. Marketing channels are limited to a corporate website, blog content (~33 educational posts), and phone-based appointment scheduling; no mobile app, no social media presence, and no third-party integrations are listed.

The business model is a professional services practice group with primary revenue from fee-for-service examinations, insurance-reimbursed medical eye care, and ancillary retail product sales (frames, lenses, contacts). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by service and location. Patient acquisition is sales-led and locally driven: patients schedule via the website or by phone and visit in person. The group is privately held, with no disclosed external equity, venture, or private-equity backing; ownership appears to reside with founding practitioners and internal management. A 2024 consolidation moved the Harps Mill (Raleigh) office into the Six Forks Road location, signaling modest footprint rationalization alongside continued growth in adjacent geographies.
