Johnson Eye Care

What Johnson Eye Care does

Johnson Eye Care is an independent, privately-held optometry practice operating from a single office at 855 Feinberg Court, Suite 110, in Cary, Illinois. The practice delivers full-scope optometric care across pediatric, adult, and geriatric populations, including comprehensive eye examinations, contact lens fittings, prescription eyewear, and the medical management of ocular conditions such as glaucoma, dry eye, and eye infections. It also provides same-day emergency eye care with after-hours on-call coverage and co-manages refractive (LASIK) and cataract surgery with external surgeons.

The practice is differentiated by a tier of clinical diagnostic equipment — Optomap Retinal Scan, Topcon CV 5000 Automated Phoropter, AngioVue OCT, Zeiss Humphrey Field Analyzer 3, and MPOD — together with specialized dry eye and blepharitis treatments (BlephEx, LipiScan, Regener-Eyes Drops, inflammatory testing). Three optometrists (Dr. Rebecca Schoepke, Dr. Katherine Delgadillo, and Dr. Jacie Thomas) lead clinical operations, supported by a staff sized in the 11–50 range. Billing is fee-for-service via insurance (VSP for routine vision; Medicare, BCBS PPO, CIGNA PPO, Aetna PPO, and United Health Care PPO for medical visits) and direct payment (cash, major cards, Apple Pay, Care Credit). HMOs are not accepted.

Customer acquisition is primarily local: phone-based appointment scheduling, walk-in ocular emergency triage, curbside pickup for optical products, and a modest digital presence (website and social channels). The practice does not engage in extensive digital marketing, has no app, no API, no disclosed investors, and shows no signs of geographic expansion beyond its single Cary location. The founding date is recorded as 2007 in firmographics, with company-history material referencing a 2016 milestone tied to Dr. Thomas's doctorate; no external ownership or institutional capital is referenced.

Broad incumbents

• Costco Optical: Optical department within Costco Wholesale offering eye exams by independent optometrists and discounted eyewear. Comparable as a competing source for routine eye exams, contact lenses, and prescription glasses in the Cary/Chicago suburban market.
• Pearle Vision: Established optical retail chain providing comprehensive eye exams, eyeglasses, and contact lenses through franchised and company-owned locations. Comparable as a direct-to-consumer optometric and eyewear provider, but with brand recognition and marketing scale far exceeding Johnson Eye Care.
• America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses: High-value optical retail chain operating under National Vision Holdings, providing eye exams and low-priced eyewear across hundreds of U.S. locations. Comparable as a budget-oriented exam-and-eyewear provider competing for the same suburban patient base as Johnson Eye Care.
• LensCrafters: National optical retail chain offering eye exams, prescription eyewear, and contact lenses in physical mall and storefront locations. Comparable to Johnson Eye Care as a provider of routine optometric services and eyewear, but operates at vastly larger scale and with retail-focused positioning.
• National Vision Holdings: Public parent company of America's Best, Eyeglass World, and other optical retail brands, operating over 1,000 stores. Comparable as a competitor pursuing low-priced exam-and-eyewear models that target the same value-oriented patients Johnson Eye Care serves.

Direct peers

• 1-800 Contacts: Largest online retailer of contact lenses in the United States, offering direct-to-consumer ordering and subscription lens supply. Comparable to Johnson Eye Care as a contact-lens fulfillment channel and competitor for the practice's contact lens revenue stream.
• Warby Parker: Direct-to-consumer eyewear brand offering prescription glasses, contacts, and increasingly eye exams through retail stores. Comparable to Johnson Eye Care in offering in-person eye exams and eyewear with a DTC, brand-led approach, but with national scale and integrated online/offline model.

Others

• TLC Laser Eye Centers: Network of LASIK and refractive surgery centers providing laser vision correction with affiliated co-managing optometrists. Comparable as a downstream surgical partner for Johnson Eye Care's refractive co-management service line and potential customer for its pre/post-op services.
