John-Kenyon

What John-Kenyon does

John-Kenyon was a private ophthalmology and optometry practice serving the Greater Louisville, Southern Indiana, and Owensboro region. On January 1, 2026, John-Kenyon merged with Bennett & Bloom Eye Centers to operate as a single, multi-subspecialty practice under the Bennett & Bloom brand. The combined entity delivers comprehensive medical and surgical eye care — cataract surgery (including laser and premium IOL options such as Light Adjustable Lenses, multifocal, and EDOF platforms), LASIK and PRK vision correction, EVO ICL implantation, retina and vitreous surgery, glaucoma management including MIGS, cornea services (DMEK, DSAEK, PKP), dry eye treatment, oculoplastic and reconstructive surgery, diabetic eye exams, and comprehensive routine eye care.

The practice is staffed by 30+ clinicians, including fellowship-trained ophthalmologists and optometrists with training from institutions such as Harvard, Cleveland Clinic, and Bascom Palmer, and operates from 12+ physical locations across Kentucky and Southern Indiana. Dr. Steven Bloom, a practice physician, founded Retina Rocks, described as the world's largest online multimedia retina image library. Dr. Ian McWherter, an affiliated optometrist, founded Telasight, an AI telemedicine company focused on eye care clinical decisions, and has filed multiple related U.S. patents. Patient access is supported through a toll-free scheduling line, online appointment requests, and a patient portal.

The business operates a hybrid professional services and fee-for-service model. Medical services are billed to commercial insurers, Medicare, and Medicaid. Elective procedures (LASIK, premium IOLs, oculoplastic/cosmetic services) are paid out-of-pocket with patient financing available through Alphaeon Credit, and FSA/HSA accounts are accepted. Patient acquisition is driven primarily by referrals from independent optometrists — formalized through a referral form and the Clinical Connection newsletter — supplemented by direct patient inquiries. Both legacy practices operated as portfolio companies within the EyeCare Partners, LLC doctor-led network, which provides shared administrative, technology, and growth infrastructure while preserving clinical autonomy and brand identity.
