What Select Eye Care does

Select Eye Care is a private ophthalmology and optometry practice headquartered in Columbia, Maryland, founded by Dr. Scott LaBorwit, MD, and operating two clinical offices (Columbia/Elkridge and Towson) plus the Columbia Surgical Institute, an ambulatory surgery center in Elkridge. The practice employs eight physicians and optometrists covering cataract and refractive surgery, cornea and anterior segment, glaucoma, retina and vitreoretinal disease, dry eye, and keratoconus. Patient demographics span adults requiring cataract surgery, refractive correction candidates, and patients with chronic ocular disease, with services billed through Medicare and major commercial carriers.

The practice's core technology stack centers on advanced surgical platforms and premium intraocular lenses, including the Alcon LenSx bladeless cataract laser, the RxSight Light Adjustable Lens (the only post-operatively adjustable IOL on the US market), the AcrySof IQ PanOptix trifocal IOL, and the EVO Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) for refractive correction. Diagnostic modalities include OCT, fluorescein angiography, and ocular ultrasound. Select Eye Care describes itself as the first practice in the Baltimore region to offer both LenSx bladeless cataract surgery and the RxSight Light Adjustable Lens.

The business model combines insurance-reimbursed medical eye care with a premium upgrade lane: standard cataract surgery is covered by Medicare and most insurers, while Light Adjustable Lens, multifocal, and toric IOLs carry incremental patient-paid charges. Elective refractive procedures (EVO ICL, Refractive Lens Exchange, and LASIK via referral) are predominantly self-pay, supported by FSA/HSA and CareCredit financing. Distribution is via direct appointments, an in-house surgical center, a referring provider network, and digital channels including a website, YouTube educational content, and Luma Health online booking. Select Eye Care is part of the Vision Innovation Partners management platform serving the Mid-Atlantic region.

Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) Clear lens replacement procedure similar to cataract surgery but performed for refractive correction rather than cataract removal, reducing the need for reading and distance glasses. Elective, typically not covered by insurance.
EVO Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) Additive implantable lens for correction of myopia with or without astigmatism. Does not remove corneal tissue, is removable, and offers UV protection. Elective refractive procedure.
Dry Eye Treatment Comprehensive treatment for dry eye, blepharitis, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, and ocular surface/allergy conditions, including prescription medications, in-office procedures, and over-the-counter remedies.
