What Insight Vision Center Optometry does

Insight Vision Center Optometry is a private, specialty-focused optometry practice founded in 2015 and headquartered in Costa Mesa, California. The practice operates a single unified service model delivering primary eye care alongside four specialty verticals: specialty contact lens fitting (scleral lenses, orthokeratology, custom soft, hybrid, and impression-based EyePrintPRO lenses), myopia management for children (Ortho-K, MiSight, Stellest, atropine), vision therapy (amblyopia, strabismus, neuro-rehabilitation, concussion recovery via the in-house Eye Gym), and advanced dry eye treatment (IPL, TearCare, therapeutic scleral lenses). Patients are served across three locations: the Costa Mesa flagship, an Irvine partner practice (Optometry Corner), and a Las Vegas sister practice (Insight Vision Optometry, Las Vegas, rebranded from The Contact Lens Institute of Nevada in May 2026).

The underlying clinical technology stack combines advanced diagnostic imaging (corneal tomography, wavefront aberrometry, anterior segment OCT, corneo-scleral topography) with proprietary assets including the in-house designed HERO Ultimate Scleral Lens for higher-order aberration correction, a 15-Day Contact Lens Challenge pediatric onboarding protocol, and VR-based vision therapy tools (Meta Quest, Eyehero gamified training, Curesight digital binocular therapy). The practice holds partnerships enabling prescriptions up to ±25.00D sphere and -8.00D cylinder via SpecialEyes, and is the only EyePrintPRO and Ovitz provider in Nevada through its Las Vegas location.

The business model is direct-to-consumer professional services with six revenue streams: professional eye care visits, specialty contact lens fittings and sales, optical dispensary (frames and lenses including kids optical and Neurolens), structured vision therapy courses, dry eye treatment programs, and subscription-style recurring myopia management plans. Distribution is in-office at owned and partner locations, supplemented by a provider referral channel targeting Orange County optometrists and ophthalmologists via Insight University continuing education. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and patients self-serve book through scheduleyourexam.com or by phone. The practice is led by CEO and co-founder Dr. Thanh Mai, OD, FSLS, with five additional fellowship-trained optometrists (Dr. Lam, Dr. Schramm, Dr. Chen, Dr. Nguyen, Dr. Kamo), and operates without disclosed institutional funding or external ownership.

Revenue model

1. Professional Eye Care Services: Revenue from comprehensive eye exams, pediatric eye exams, medical eye exams, emergency eye care, and specialist consultations. These are recurring and episodic patient encounters billed per visit.
2. Specialty Contact Lens Fittings and Sales: Revenue from fitting and dispensing specialty contact lenses including scleral lenses, orthokeratology (Ortho-K) overnight lenses, custom soft lenses (SpecialEyes, KeraSoft IC, NovaKone, hybrid lenses), and prosthetic/tinted lenses. These represent higher-margin, medically necessary contact lens services.
3. Optical / Eyewear Dispensary: Revenue from prescription glasses, frames, and lenses including kids optical, adult optical (Varilux progressives, Neurolens, Stellest myopia glasses), and accessories sold through the in-office optical.
4. Vision Therapy Program: Revenue from structured in-office vision therapy programs (The Eye Gym) and at-home therapy tools, typically delivered as a course of sessions over weeks to months for conditions including amblyopia, strabismus, convergence insufficiency, and post-concussion rehabilitation.
5. Dry Eye Treatment: Revenue from diagnostic workups, in-office procedures (IPL, TearCare), and at-home treatment regimens for dry eye disease, meibomian gland dysfunction, and Demodex blepharitis.
6. Myopia Management: Revenue from myopia control treatments including MiSight daily disposables, orthokeratology lenses, Stellest spectacle lenses, multifocal soft lenses, and low-dose atropine — typically an annual or multi-year ongoing treatment plan.

Product overview

Insight Vision Center Optometry is a full-scope optometry practice with a deep specialty focus. The practice operates from a single unified service model offering primary eye care, specialty contact lenses, myopia management, vision therapy, and dry eye treatment. Core specialty products include scleral lenses (including the HERO Ultimate Scleral Lens and EyePrintPRO impression-based lenses), custom soft contact lenses, orthokeratology (Ortho-K), and myopia control options (MiSight, Stellest glasses, atropine drops). Vision therapy services address amblyopia, strabismus, convergence insufficiency, and neurodevelopmental disorders. Dry eye services include IPL therapy and therapeutic scleral lenses.

• SpecialEyescoreTechnology or IntegrationThrough a SpecialEyes partnership, the practice fits custom soft contact lenses for prescriptions up to ±25.00D sphere and -8.00D cylinder, custom multifocal designs, and small-diameter pediatric lenses. This partnership enables the practice to serve patients with prescriptions far beyond standard contact lens parameters.
• EyePrintPROcoreTechnology or IntegrationEyePrintPRO is an impression-based scleral lens system that creates a lens molded directly from the surface of the eye. The practice uses this technology for the most challenging cases where conventional lens design cannot achieve a proper fit. (Note: Dr. Stephanie Woo at the Las Vegas sister practice is the only EyePrintPRO certified provider in Nevada.)
• OvitzcoreTechnology or IntegrationOvitz higher-order aberration lens technology is used at the Las Vegas sister practice for correcting visual distortions that traditional lenses cannot address. The Las Vegas clinic is the only practice in Nevada offering this technology.
• SynergEyes (Duette Hybrid Lenses)coreTechnology or IntegrationSynergEyes Duette hybrid contact lenses — combining a rigid center for sharp optics with a soft skirt for all-day comfort — are offered as an option for patients who need the clarity of gas permeable lenses with the comfort of soft lenses.

Direct peers

• Treehouse Eyes: A US specialty chain exclusively focused on myopia management for children, offering ortho-K, MiSight, and atropine programs. Highly comparable to Insight Vision's myopia management service line and represents a directly competitive specialty pediatric optometry model.
• BostonSight: A nonprofit specialty eye care organization focused on scleral lens fitting and complex corneal conditions, including PROSE treatment. Directly comparable to Insight Vision's specialty contact lens and scleral lens practice, with similar patient populations (keratoconus, ocular surface disease).
• Lumen Optometric: A California specialty optometry practice offering vision therapy, myopia management, and specialty contact lens services. Directly comparable to Insight Vision as a sub-specialty optometry practice serving pediatric and complex vision patients in a similar Southern California footprint.

Broad incumbents

• MyEyeDr. A large US optical retailer with optometry services across hundreds of locations. Comparable to Insight Vision as an optometry-led practice model, but operates at much greater scale with broader (less specialized) clinical offerings.
• EssilorLuxottica (Stellest): Global eyewear and lens manufacturer whose Stellest myopia control spectacle lenses are offered by Insight Vision. Comparable in serving the myopia management market, but at a vastly larger scale and across a broader optical product portfolio.
• Vision Source: A large national network of independent optometric practices. Insight Vision is a Vision Source member, and the two are directly comparable as optometry practice models — though Vision Source operates at far greater scale and offers a less specialized clinical footprint.
• Bausch + Lomb Specialty Vision Products: Global eye health company with a specialty vision products portfolio including gas permeable lenses and scleral lens technologies. Comparable to Insight Vision's specialty contact lens focus as a broader incumbent operating in the same clinical category.

Others

• SynergEyes: A hybrid contact lens manufacturer (Duette, UltraHealth) specializing in irregular cornea and keratoconus. Directly comparable to Insight Vision's specialty lens practice as a hybrid lens partner serving the same complex patient population.
• Neurolens: A specialty lens company treating binocular vision dysfunction with contoured prism lenses. Insight Vision is a Neurolens provider, and the two are comparable as enablers of BVD/headache-focused specialty vision care, though Neurolens is a product/vendor rather than a competing practice.
• CooperVision (MiSight): Global contact lens manufacturer whose MiSight 1 Day myopia control lens is dispensed by Insight Vision. Comparable in myopia management clinical focus area, but as a manufacturer rather than a practice — Insight Vision is a downstream channel partner.
