Fox Eye Care Group

What Fox Eye Care Group does

Fox Eye Care Group is a privately held optometry practice founded by Dr. William Fox in 1991 in Greensboro, North Carolina. The practice operates five locations across North Carolina, including sites in Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and Goldsboro, and is uniquely structured around physical co-location with LensCrafters retail optical stores inside malls, capturing walk-in optical foot traffic as a feeder for clinical services. Patients book appointments through the LensCrafters scheduling platform, via direct phone, or through the practice's own website.

The clinical portfolio spans routine comprehensive eye exams, contact lens fittings, and a broad specialty service line covering pediatric eye care, diabetic eye examinations, glaucoma and macular degeneration management, dry eye treatment using thermal and IPL devices (MiBo Thermoflo, TearCare, Lipiflow, Lumenis Optilight IPL), myopia management (MiSight, Ortho K, atropine drops), neuro-optometric rehabilitation and post-concussion therapy, and surgical co-management for LASIK, PRK, Visian ICL, cataract procedures, and blepharoplasty. Diagnostic and treatment capabilities are built on advanced imaging hardware including OCT, Optomap ultra-widefield retinal imaging, and the Clarifye digital eye health assessment system.

Revenue is generated from per-visit professional service fees across exam and specialty categories, with an additional recurring consumables stream from a dedicated Arrellio-branded online contact lens reordering portal offering manufacturer rebates and direct-to-patient shipping. The target customer base is individual patients and families across all age groups, including pediatric Medicaid recipients and patients with medical eye conditions. Operational integration includes the CrystalPM patient portal for records access and the LensCrafters scheduling system for appointment booking, with insurance accepted and no publicly disclosed pricing.

Core offering

Fox Eye Care Group is a privately-held optometry practice operating four retail eye care clinics in North Carolina (Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Goldsboro), all co-located inside malls adjacent to LensCrafters stores. The practice delivers comprehensive eye exams, contact lens exams and fittings, pediatric and diabetic eye exams, specialty contact lenses, dry eye treatment, ocular disease management, vision therapy, neuro-optometric rehabilitation, and surgical co-management for LASIK, PRK, Visian ICL, and cataract procedures.

Product overview

Fox Eye Care Group is an optometric practice offering a comprehensive portfolio of eye care services across four locations in North Carolina (Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Goldsboro). The practice operates as a unified service delivery model rather than a platform architecture. Core offerings center on comprehensive eye exams, contact lens services, and management of ocular diseases. The portfolio integrates advanced diagnostic technologies (OCT, Optomap retinal imaging, Clarifye digital mapping) with surgical co-management services (LASIK, PRK, Visian ICL, cataract surgery) and specialty contact lenses (scleral, hybrid, multifocal, Ortho K, MiSight for myopia control). The practice has expanded into adjacent health categories including neuro-optometric rehabilitation for brain injury recovery, dry eye treatment using thermal devices (MiBo Thermoflo, TearCare, Lipiflow), myopia management (Atropine drops), and aesthetic services (TempSure Envi, IPL). Additionally, the practice offers emerging smart eyewear products (Nuance Audio Glasses for hearing enhancement, Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses) and specialty lenses (Avulux for migraine light sensitivity). The ecosystem is tied together through Lenscrafters scheduling integration, CrystalPM patient portal, and Arrellio contact lens e-commerce platform.
