Eye Care Professionals

What Eye Care Professionals does

Eye Care Professionals is a physician-owned ophthalmology and optometry medical practice headquartered in Reno, Nevada, founded in the 1950s and operating for more than 75 years. The practice delivers comprehensive medical and surgical eye care across Northern Nevada and Northern California, served by a three-provider clinical team led by Dr. Matthew B. Mills, M.D., a board-certified ophthalmologist and owner, alongside Dr. Leyla Mirbaha, O.D., and Dr. Timothy Huntting, O.D. Patient volumes are drawn from Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Fernley, Minden, Gardnerville, Incline Village, Truckee, and South Lake Tahoe.

The practice's service portfolio spans refractive surgery (LASIK via Johnson & Johnson iDESIGN Refractive Studio, PRK, ICL, RLE, KAMRA), cataract surgery (LenSx bladeless femtosecond laser, premium IOLs including PanOptix Pro Trifocal, multifocal, accommodating, Toric, and RxSight Light Adjustable Lens), glaucoma management (iStent, iDose TR sustained-release implant, OMNI, Hydrus, Voyager DSLT), dry eye and ocular surface disease (LipiFlow, punctal plugs, prescription therapy), and treatment for diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration (Valeda PBM), and blepharitis. Surgical procedures are performed at Vision Surgery Center of Nevada using the NGENUITY 3D Visualization System. The practice has documented first-in-Nevada status for multiple procedures including Wavefront LASIK, bladeless laser cataract surgery, ReSTOR IOL implantation, laser ECP for glaucoma, and iStent implantation in Northern Nevada.

Eye Care Professionals operates a fee-for-service professional services revenue model combining insurance and Medicare reimbursement for standard medical and surgical care with direct out-of-pocket payment for elective vision correction (LASIK, premium IOL upgrades). Financing is facilitated through Care Credit. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer, supported by a content-marketing website, Google reviews, community awards, and a formal optometrist referral program ('For Referring ODs'). The practice maintains strategic technology licensing and supply partnerships with Johnson & Johnson Vision (iDESIGN), Alcon (LenSx, NGENUITY, Voyager DSLT), RxSight (Light Adjustable Lens), Glaukos (iStent, iDose TR), and TearScience/J&J (LipiFlow).

Products and services

• LASIK Eye Surgery Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis that corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism using the iDESIGN Refractive Studio (Johnson & Johnson Vision) for personalized wavefront-guided treatment. Performed for adult patients seeking to reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses and contact lenses.
• PRK Laser Eye Surgery Photorefractive Keratectomy that reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism without creating a corneal flap. Offered as an alternative to LASIK for patients who are not flap candidates.
• Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) Surgical replacement of the eye's natural lens with a premium intraocular lens to improve vision and reduce dependence on corrective eyewear, indicated for patients with presbyopia or early cataracts.
• Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) Implantable Collamer Lens placed inside the eye to correct vision, providing an alternative for patients who are not LASIK candidates due to high prescriptions or dry eyes.
• Cataract Surgery Diagnosis and surgical removal of cataracts with intraocular lens implantation, including bladeless LenSx femtosecond laser cataract surgery, phacoemulsification, and premium IOL options for cataract patients in Northern Nevada.
• Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) Cataract Surgery Cataract surgery using the RxSight Light Adjustable Lens, the first and only FDA-approved adjustable intraocular lens, allowing post-surgery vision customization through UV light treatments that reshape the lens implant.
• Advanced Implantable Lenses (IOLs) Premium intraocular lens implants offered during cataract surgery, including PanOptix Pro Trifocal, multifocal, accommodating, and Toric lenses designed to restore vision at multiple distances and reduce glasses dependence.
• Glaucoma Care Comprehensive glaucoma treatment including laser surgery, Micro-Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) such as iStent Inject, OMNI, and Hydrus, iDose TR sustained-release implants, and Voyager DSLT selective laser trabeculoplasty for patients with open-angle or closed-angle glaucoma.
• iStent Treatment Minimally invasive iStent Inject trabecular micro-bypass shunt (Glaukos) implanted during glaucoma surgery to improve fluid outflow and reduce intraocular pressure.
• iDose TR Implant FDA-approved sustained-release travoprost implant (Glaukos) that continuously delivers glaucoma medication inside the eye for up to four years to control intraocular pressure and reduce daily eye drop burden.
• Voyager DSLT Alcon Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty that uses automated laser pulses targeting the trabecular meshwork to improve aqueous outflow and reduce intraocular pressure, with treatment taking approximately 30 seconds per eye.
• LipiFlow Dry Eye Treatment FDA-approved thermal pulsation treatment for Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) that applies heat and massage to the eyelids to clear blocked glands and restore a healthy tear film, offered as an in-office dry eye procedure.
• Comprehensive Eye Exams Medical eye examinations assessing the entire visual system and overall eye health, including slit lamp tests, tonometry, keratometry, refraction, and dilated retinal exams for early detection of eye disease.
• Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment Comprehensive diabetic eye exams and treatments including fluorescein angiography, laser treatment, vitrectomy surgery, and cryotherapy for diabetic retinopathy.
• Macular Degeneration Treatment Diagnosis and management of age-related macular degeneration including Valeda PBM treatment for dry AMD, wet AMD laser treatment, and low vision aids for adaptation.
• Dry Eye Treatment Treatment for dry eye syndrome and ocular surface disease including artificial tears, prescription medications, punctal plugs, LipiFlow, and meibomian gland surgery.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Center For Sight: Multi-location ophthalmology and optometry practice offering LASIK, cataract surgery, and dry eye treatments. Direct competitor on service mix and physician-owned operating model, though at multi-site scale.
• Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center: Multi-location Arizona-based ophthalmology practice offering LASIK, cataract surgery, glaucoma, and retina care. Closely matches Eye Care Professionals' full-service medical/surgical ophthalmology scope but at regional chain scale.
• NVISION Eye Centers: Multi-location ophthalmology practice network offering LASIK, cataract surgery, and other refractive procedures across the western US. Directly comparable to Eye Care Professionals on service mix (LASIK, premium IOLs, glaucoma care) but operates at a regional chain scale rather than single-site.
• LasikPlus: Large US LASIK provider with multiple centers. Overlaps with Eye Care Professionals on consumer-facing laser vision correction, but at a higher marketing scale and single-procedure focus versus ECP's full-service model.
• Wolfe Eye Clinic: Iowa-based multi-specialty ophthalmology practice providing LASIK, cataract, glaucoma, and retina services. Comparable on breadth of medical/surgical ophthalmology and physician-led ownership model.
• TLC Laser Eye Centers: National LASIK and laser vision correction chain. Highly comparable to Eye Care Professionals' LASIK service line on technology and patient funnel, though TLC specializes in refractive surgery rather than full medical/surgical ophthalmology.

Broad incumbents

• EyeCare Partners: PE-backed national ophthalmology and optometry platform aggregating independent practices. Comparable service lines (medical/surgical eye care, LASIK, cataract, glaucoma), but at consolidated platform scale versus Eye Care Professionals' independent model.
• OCLI Vision: Large multi-subspecialty ophthalmology platform operating across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. Overlaps with Eye Care Professionals on cataract, glaucoma, and refractive services, but functions as a broad specialty platform rather than a single community practice.

Regional players

• Pacific Eye Center: Multi-location ophthalmology group in Southern California. Comparable in service mix and physician-led model, but serves a different West Coast geography than Eye Care Professionals' Northern Nevada/Northern California footprint.

Others

• Sierra Vista Surgery Center: Reno-based ambulatory surgery center where Dr. Mills previously served as Medical Director. Adjacent enabling partner rather than competitor; relevant because it is the surgical site infrastructure that supports Eye Care Professionals' ophthalmology surgery volume.
