Utah Eye Centers

What Utah Eye Centers does

Utah Eye Centers is a private, multi-location ophthalmology and optometry practice headquartered in Ogden, Utah, founded in 1996. It operates five clinics spanning the Wasatch Front corridor (Bountiful, Ogden, Pleasant Grove, Salt Lake City) plus a Jackson, Wyoming office, and employs 15 or more doctors across all major ophthalmic subspecialties including refractive surgery (LASIK, EVO ICL), cataract surgery, cornea, glaucoma, retina, pediatric ophthalmology, and cosmetic oculoplastics. The practice is anchored by board-certified specialists with decades of experience, including Dr. Jamie Monroe (25+ years) and Dr. Michael Bullard, described as the only full-time pediatric ophthalmologist in Weber and Davis counties.

The practice deploys advanced ophthalmic capital equipment — iFS IntraLase femtosecond laser, Star4 VISX Excimer Laser, iDesign WaveFront System, and Advanced CustomVue wavefront-guided LASIK — enabling bladeless flap creation and customized vision correction. Reported clinical outcomes include over 95% of LASIK patients achieving 20/20 vision or better and 99% of EVO ICL patients reporting they would choose the procedure again.

Revenue is generated through professional services (insurance-reimbursed and self-pay surgical and medical eye care), retail optical (prescription eyewear and contact lenses), and cosmetic procedures (BOTOX, Juvéderm, blepharoplasty). The go-to-market motion is sales-led, driven by direct patient acquisition via phone scheduling, an online consultation form with location/doctor/procedure preference selection, location-specific SEO, and an active presence across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Financing options including FSA, HSA, and CareCredit are offered, and most insurance providers are accepted, though specific pricing is not publicly disclosed.
