Eyewear Gallery

What Eyewear Gallery does

Eyewear Gallery is a privately held, single-location optometry practice founded in 1985 and based in Memphis, Tennessee, operating from the Laurelwood Shopping Center in East Memphis. The practice provides a comprehensive suite of eye care services — comprehensive eye exams, dry eye treatment, ocular disease management (glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, cataracts), myopia management for children, and emergency eye care — delivered by licensed therapeutic optometrists including Dr. Ryan Livesay and Dr. Do Nguyen. Clinical delivery is supported by digital diagnostic imaging for eye disease detection, Smart Mirror measurement technology for frame and lens fitting, and digitally-surfaced lens production.

On the commercial side, the practice operates a brick-and-mortar optical dispensary offering prescription eyeglasses with custom lens solutions (progressive, blue light blocking, Transitions photochromic, computer/occupational, anti-fog), an extensive portfolio of designer frames spanning luxury (Prada, Gucci, Tom Ford, Chanel, Versace, Tiffany) and premium mass brands (Ray-Ban, Oakley, Maui Jim, Coach), children's and sports eyewear, and a full range of contact lenses across daily, biweekly, monthly, toric, multifocal, and myopia control categories. Partnerships with major ophthalmic manufacturers — Alcon, Johnson & Johnson Vision, CooperVision, Essilor, and Transitions Optical — support product breadth and exclusive rebate programs.

Revenue is generated through three streams: professional service fees (exams, fittings, disease management), eyewear hardware sales, and contact lens sales, with billing routed through ten major medical and vision insurance plans plus direct patient payment. The go-to-market is local and referral-driven, supplemented by content marketing via an educational blog, online appointment scheduling through SolutionReach, and an online contact lens reordering channel (myclstore) with home delivery. Customer base is exclusively individual consumers in the Memphis metropolitan area, with no enterprise or institutional accounts.
