Eye Consultants of Atlanta

What Eye Consultants of Atlanta does

Eye Consultants of Atlanta is a private, multi-specialty ophthalmology practice founded in 1971 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. The practice operates 18 locations across the Atlanta metro area and surrounding Georgia markets (including Athens, Macon, Fayetteville, Lawrenceville, Marietta, Newnan, Peachtree Corners, and Stockbridge) and is staffed by 22 physicians recognized in Castle Connolly's 2026 Top Doctors Database. Eye Consultants of Atlanta has been named by Castle Connolly as one of the top five ophthalmology practices in the United States.

The practice offers a full continuum of eye care services organized by sub-specialty: cataract surgery (including laser-assisted CATALYS and Advanced Technology IOLs such as the Light Adjustable Lens), LASIK and refractive surgery through its Piedmont Better Vision center, cornea and anterior segment care (including DSEK/DMEK transplants, traditional penetrating keratoplasty, and FDA-approved iLink corneal cross-linking for keratoconus), glaucoma, retinal conditions, oculoplastics, neuro-ophthalmology, and pediatric ophthalmology. It also operates on-site optical shops at multiple locations (with Zeiss lenses, Boston Sight Scleral Lenses, and Blutech blue-light eyewear) and an affiliated hearing care business under atlhearing.net. Surgical procedures are performed at the wholly owned Fayetteville Surgery Center. Patient acquisition flows through direct website/phone bookings, walk-in optical retail, and a formalized physician referral program that uses Phreesia Physician Connect for HIPAA-secure real-time scheduling.

The business model is fee-for-service healthcare plus retail optical. Clinical services are priced on a quote basis reflecting procedure complexity and insurance coverage, optical products are sold at retail with manufacturer rebates (Alcon, Acuvue, CooperVision, Bausch + Lomb, Johnson & Johnson Vision), and CareCredit financing is accepted across the practice. Revenue streams are diversified across clinical services, surgical facility fees, optical retail, and hearing care. Eye Consultants of Atlanta is physician-owned, with no disclosed parent company, private equity sponsorship, or institutional investment, and no funding rounds are on record. The practice is supported by the affiliated ECA Foundation and a research studies program, and maintains active marketing channels including its website, Facebook, Twitter/X, YouTube, and Instagram.

• Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center: Large multi-specialty ophthalmology group based in Arizona (now part of US Eye). Similar to ECA in offering cataract surgery, premium IOLs, LASIK, and optical retail, but serves the Southwest rather than the Southeast.

Broad incumbents

• US Eye: One of the largest multi-specialty ophthalmology platforms in the U.S., formed through roll-ups of regional groups. Comparable to ECA in service breadth (cataract, LASIK, retina, optical) but operates nationally and is PE-backed, giving it greater capital reach.

Emerging players

• TLC Laser Eye Centers: Long-standing North American LASIK and refractive surgery chain. Direct partial overlap with ECA's refractive-surgery sub-brand on laser vision correction procedures and patient acquisition model.
• LasikPlus: National refractive surgery provider focused primarily on LASIK and PRK. Overlaps with ECA's Piedmont Better Vision refractive sub-brand on the LASIK/procedural side, though ECA is broader in scope.
