Intermountain Eye Clinic

What Intermountain Eye Clinic does

Intermountain Eye Clinic (legal name: Intermountain Eye Center) is a physician-owned, private multi-specialty ophthalmology practice headquartered in Boise, Idaho. Founded in 1984 and operating for more than 40 years (with the homepage claiming 60+ years of continuous service), the practice is positioned as Idaho's largest multi-specialty eye care group, operating five clinic locations across Boise, Eagle, Meridian, and Nampa in the Treasure Valley. Three of those locations are co-located on Saint Alphonsus campuses, and physicians hold staff privileges at Eagle Eye Surgery and Laser Center, St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center, and St. Luke's Regional Medical Center.

The practice delivers a comprehensive spectrum of eye care services including refractive surgery (LASIK, PRK, and EVO Visian ICL), cataract surgery using phacoemulsification, glaucoma management, retina care, cornea and external disease treatment, primary eye care, contact lens fitting, and an on-site optical boutique. Clinical technology centers on the Wavelight EX500 excimer laser for LASIK and PRK, wavefront-optimized and topography-guided LASIK protocols, and advanced diagnostic imaging. The provider team comprises 14+ named clinicians, including board-certified ophthalmologists with fellowship training from institutions such as UCSF, Stanford, the University of Pittsburgh, and the University of Iowa, plus optometrists.

Commercially, Intermountain operates a direct-to-consumer model: patients schedule appointments by phone or via website forms, and the practice accepts most major medical insurance plans plus select vision plans such as VSP. Pricing for self-pay procedures is transparently published — $2,500 per eye for LASIK and PRK, and $3,650–$4,100 per eye for ICL — which the firm notes is the only such transparent pricing in Idaho. Revenue derives from professional medical services, surgical procedures, and optical hardware sales, with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or acquisition activity.
