Family Eye Care Center

What Family Eye Care Center does

Family Eye Care Center & Optical Gallery is a privately held ophthalmology and optometry practice headquartered at 5 Cornerstone Square, Westford, Massachusetts, founded in 1995 by Dr. Dwayne B. Baharozian. The practice employs six medical providers — two ophthalmologists (Dwayne B. Baharozian, MD and Connor J. Baharozian, MD, MBA) and four optometrists — supported by opticians, billing, and administrative staff under a multi-generational Baharozian family ownership structure. It delivers comprehensive eye care including routine examinations, pediatric vision care, diabetic eye care, dry eye treatment, glaucoma and macular degeneration management, emergency eye care with 24/7 on-call coverage, cataract and refractive surgery performed at affiliated Surgisite North in Chelmsford, MA, and laser vision correction.

The practice is built on a stack of premium third-party diagnostic and surgical platforms rather than proprietary technology: Optos Optomap 200-degree wide-field retinal imaging, Zeiss Cirrus HD-OCT, Zeiss Humphrey HFA 3 visual field analyzer, Nidek OPD-Scan III wavefront system, Marco Epic refraction system, LenSx bladeless laser cataract surgery, and Zeiss Visufit 1000 touchless digital frame measurement. An on-site Optical Gallery stocks 1,500+ frames staffed by Massachusetts-licensed opticians and a contact lens dispensary rounds out retail offerings. Patient education spans 50+ eye conditions delivered via the practice website, and self-pay advanced diagnostic screening (Optomap at $39-45) is offered as an insurance-non-covered add-on during routine exams.

Revenue is generated through four streams: (1) professional medical services billed to insurance (Medicare, Medicaid, BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, Harvard Pilgrim, Tufts, United Healthcare and others) on a copay/deductible basis; (2) surgical procedures performed by practice surgeons at the affiliated Surgisite North ASC; (3) retail hardware sales of frames, lenses, and contact lenses through the Optical Gallery; and (4) self-pay unit-priced services and ancillary revenue (Optomap screening, medical records, no-show/late fees, returned check fees). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via website, phone scheduling, insurance network participation, primary care referrals, and word-of-mouth, with no enterprise or institutional sales motion. The practice serves Westford and surrounding Massachusetts communities as a single-market consumer healthcare operation.
