Sedgewick Eye Associates

What Sedgewick Eye Associates does

Sedgewick Eye Associates, P.C. is a private, single-physician ophthalmology practice founded in October 2002 by Dr. Jeffrey Hunt Sedgewick, a board-certified ophthalmologist who holds both M.D. and O.D. degrees and is described as one of the few U.S. physicians with that dual qualification. The practice operates from a single office at 44121 Harry Byrd Highway (Route 7), #175, in Ashburn, Virginia, and serves the Ashburn and Dulles, Virginia community across the full spectrum of general and specialty eye care.

Service lines include cataract surgery (phaco-emulsification with intraocular lens implantation, including femtosecond laser options), glaucoma management (medication, Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty, and surgical options), dry eye and meibomian gland disease treatment (proprietary warm compress protocol plus an in-office heat-and-eyeglass treatment at $125 for both eyes), diabetic retinopathy care (focal macular laser, pan retinal photocoagulation, anti-VEGF), age-related macular degeneration management, pediatric eye care (amblyopia and strabismus), LASIK and refractive consultations, and an in-house optical shop carrying a designer-frame collection. Clinical procedures cited include over 150 personally performed focal macular laser treatments.

The revenue model is fee-for-service professional medical billing administered by a third-party billing service (ESM Billing), supplemented by direct patient payment for select in-office procedures and by retail eyeglass sales. Go-to-market is community reputation, peer referrals from local primary care physicians and optometrists, and a Wix-hosted educational website; there is no formal digital marketing, no e-commerce, and no remote/telehealth channel. The firm is founder- and family-owned (Dr. Sedgewick and his wife Roya are identified as owners), with no external investors, no funding rounds, no subsidiaries, and no parent company since founding.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Broad incumbents

• MyEyeDr. PE-backed multi-state optical retailer with a strong Northern Virginia footprint. Comparable to Sedgewick's in-house optical shop (designer frames, prescription lenses) but at vastly greater scale, with frame sourcing and lens pricing advantages that pressure independents.
• LensCrafters: National optical retailer owned by EssilorLuxottica, with on-site exam capability. Comparable to Sedgewick's optical business and competes directly with its designer-frame collection on convenience, insurance panel access, and marketing reach.
• Warby Parker: Vertically integrated eyewear brand combining online and retail optical with prescription lenses and eye exams. Competes with Sedgewick's optical dispensary on frame selection, brand experience, and price, and increasingly on exam access via in-store optometrists.
• Wilmer Eye Institute (Johns Hopkins): Academic ophthalmology center of excellence with subspecialty depth across retina, glaucoma, cornea, and pediatric ophthalmology. Comparable as a referral destination for complex cases and as a competitor for high-acuity ophthalmology patients in the broader D.C./Virginia corridor.

Direct peers

• Dominion Eye Care: Ophthalmology and optometry practice in Northern Virginia offering comprehensive eye exams, cataract surgery, glaucoma treatment, and dry eye services. Closest functional peer to Sedgewick: same geographic market, similar service mix, physician-led practice model.
• Virginia Eye Consultants: Multi-physician ophthalmology practice serving the Hampton Roads/Tidewater Virginia region, offering cataract surgery, glaucoma, LASIK, and cornea services. Comparable to Sedgewick as a physician-owned ophthalmology group with surgical and medical eye care under one roof, but at meaningfully larger scale.
• TLC Laser Eye Centers: National LASIK and refractive surgery provider. Comparable as a direct competitor for the refractive surgery consultations that Sedgewick currently refers out; represents where Sedgewick's LASIK patient flow could either be captured in-house or further ceded.
• The Retina Group of Washington: Specialty retina and vitreous practice in the D.C./Northern Virginia/Maryland region. Comparable because Sedgewick also performs retinal procedures (Focal Macular Laser, anti-VEGF injections) and serves overlapping retinal patient segments in the same metropolitan area.
• Eye Consultants of Northern Virginia: Multi-specialty ophthalmology group serving Northern Virginia with cataract, glaucoma, corneal, and oculoplastic services. Comparable regional ophthalmology competitor with overlapping cataract and glaucoma service lines to Sedgewick.

Emerging players

• LasikPlus: Multi-location U.S. LASIK provider with a strong consumer marketing engine. Comparable as an alternative destination for refractive surgery candidates that Sedgewick evaluates, and as a benchmark for consumer-facing ophthalmology marketing depth that a single-physician practice lacks.
