Beverly Hills Institute of Ophthalmology

What Beverly Hills Institute of Ophthalmology does

Beverly Hills Institute of Ophthalmology is a private, physician-owned ophthalmology practice operating from two Southern California locations in Beverly Hills (416 N Bedford Drive) and Torrance (19000 Hawthorne Blvd). The practice has operated for over 30 years and is led by three board-certified ophthalmologists: Dr. A. James Khodabakhsh (Clinical Chief of Ophthalmology at Cedars-Sinai), Dr. Billy Pan (Harvard-trained glaucoma specialist), and Dr. Jillian K. Chong (Cleveland Clinic fellowship-trained corneal specialist). Its patient base is primarily adult, drawn from Beverly Hills, the broader Los Angeles area, and the South Bay, with a service mix weighted toward cataract surgery with premium intraocular lens upgrades, refractive surgery (LASIK, PRK, EVO ICL, SMILE, refractive lens exchange), interventional and surgical glaucoma treatment, and corneal disease management (transplants, cross-linking, PTK).

The practice runs a relatively comprehensive surgical device portfolio: femtosecond laser for bladeless cataract surgery (FLACS/ReLACS), a full range of premium IOLs (TECNIS Odyssey, PanOptix trifocal, Light Adjustable Lens, TECNIS Eyhance, Toric), and an unusually broad glaucoma stack spanning SLT, MIGS (iStent, Hydrus, Xen), canaloplasty (iTrack, Omni), sustained-release implants (iDose), bio-tissue reinforcement (AlloFlo), Micropulse CPC, trabeculectomy, and drainage implants. Underlying hardware is sourced from leading ophthalmic device manufacturers rather than developed in-house.

Revenue mechanics are professional-services-based: medical and surgical fees billed to insurance or self-pay patients, with a meaningful out-of-pocket component driven by premium IOL upgrades, refractive surgery, low vision assistive devices (e.g., eSight), and elective dry-eye/lens services that Medicare and standard insurance do not fully cover. Go-to-market is sales-led and concierge-style, relying on physician authority, 30+ years of reputation (5.0-star Google rating across 354 reviews), celebrity patient testimonials (Florence Henderson, Jeff Goldblum), word-of-mouth referrals, and an SEO-optimized website with online consultation and procedure-interest forms. No external funding, no M&A activity, and no third-party distribution channels are indicated; ownership and growth appear reinvested from practice collections.

Products and services

• LASIK Eye Surgery Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis refractive surgery that reshapes the cornea using a laser to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism for adults seeking freedom from glasses or contact lenses.
• PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) Laser eye surgery that surgically reshapes the cornea with an excimer laser to correct refractive errors, with the epithelium naturally regrowing after the procedure.
• EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) Implantable collamer lens procedure that corrects vision by placing a lens inside the eye without removing the natural lens.
• SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) Minimally invasive laser vision correction procedure that removes a small lenticule through a small incision to correct refractive errors.
• Refractive Lens Exchange Surgical procedure in which the natural lens is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens to correct refractive errors and prevent future cataract formation.
• Cataract Surgery Surgical removal of the clouded natural lens and replacement with an artificial intraocular lens, performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia.
• Laser Cataract Surgery (ReLACS / FLACS) Refractive laser-assisted cataract surgery (ReLACS/FLACS) using femtosecond laser technology for precise corneal incision, capsulotomy, and lens fragmentation, replacing traditional handheld surgical instruments.
• TECNIS Odyssey IOL Implantation Premium full-range vision intraocular lens implantation delivering clear, seamless vision across all distances after cataract surgery, with advanced optics and reduced visual disturbances.
• PanOptix Trifocal Lens Implantation Trifocal intraocular lens implantation that corrects vision for near, intermediate, and far distances without glasses or contacts, with built-in UV blue light filtering material.

• Toric Lens Implantation (AcrySof IQ Toric IOL) Implantation of specially-designed IOLs that treat cataracts and correct astigmatism in a single procedure with exceptional rotational stability.
• SLT Laser (Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty) Advanced laser procedure using low-level energy to target specific cells in the trabecular meshwork to improve fluid drainage and lower intraocular pressure.
• iStent and iStent Inject Implantation Implantation of microscopic titanium stents in the trabecular meshwork to provide permanent drainage pathways for fluid to reduce intraocular pressure.
• Hydrus Microstent Implantation Implantation of an FDA-approved curved stent device that provides consistent, open drainage access to multiple collector channels within Schlemm's Canal.
• Xen Gel Stent Implantation Implantation of an innovative gel-based microtube stent for treating open-angle glaucoma that has not responded to medication, providing direct access from the eye surface to a subconjunctival reservoir.
• iDose Sustained-Release Implant FDA-approved microscopic implant that delivers continuous Travoprost medication directly inside the eye for long-term intraocular pressure control, reducing or eliminating the need for daily glaucoma drops.
• AlloFlo Bio-tissue Implantation Implantation of first-of-its-kind homologous bio-tissue engineered for precision ab-interno structural reinforcement in advanced glaucoma management, providing bio-conforming, biocompatible, hydro-permeable reinforcement without synthetic hardware or external sutures.
• Canaloplasty (iTrack and Omni) Implant-free solution that restores natural drainage pathways using illuminated microcatheter technology (iTrack or Omni Surgical System) to dilate Schlemm's Canal, opening drainage pathways.
• Goniotomy Surgical procedure using a goniolens to view eye structures and make careful openings in the trabecular meshwork to enable natural fluid flow.
• Micropulse CPC (Cyclophotocoagulation) Non-implant laser treatment that targets ciliary processes to reduce fluid output and open drainage channels, achieving up to 45% reduction in intraocular pressure with results lasting up to six years.
• Trabeculectomy Filtration surgery that creates a small flap in the eye wall allowing excess fluid to drain through a created bleb to effectively control intraocular pressure.
• YAG PI Laser Laser procedure for narrow-angle glaucoma that creates a small hole at the edge of the iris to improve fluid flow through the eye's drainage system.
• Glaucoma Drainage Implants Surgical implantation of glaucoma drainage devices such as Ahmed FP7, Ahmed Clear Path, Baerveldt, and Molteno implants that re-route fluid buildup in the eye.
