Piedmont Eye Surgical & Laser Center

What Piedmont Eye Surgical & Laser Center does

Piedmont Eye Surgical & Laser Center is a private, independent ophthalmology practice headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina, founded in 2008 by Dr. Timothy R. Bevis. It operates a second location in Thomasville, NC, and serves patients across the Piedmont Triad region. The practice employs 11-50 staff including three board-certified ophthalmologists: Dr. Bevis (founder, fluent in Spanish, specializing in cataract and lens implant surgery), Dr. Lisa Sun (joined 2018, cataract and glaucoma treatment), and Dr. Karl G. Stonecipher (joined 2010, cornea and refractive surgery specialist with 86,000+ refractive procedures and 46,000+ cataract surgeries performed over his career, recognized among the Top 50 Ophthalmologists by Cataract and Refractive Surgery Today and as a Top Doctor for 20+ years).

The practice's core service line is cataract surgery, supported by a full premium intraocular lens (IOL) portfolio spanning monofocal, toric, multifocal, and extended depth of focus lenses. Glaucoma care is the second pillar, delivered across three modalities: medical therapy (prescription eye drops, oral medications), laser treatments to improve fluid drainage, and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). A third service line covers presbyopia treatment, with premium lens implants as a glasses-independence option. The practice is explicitly referral-driven, receiving patients from optometrists and referring providers across the Piedmont Triad, and accepts all major insurance plans including Medicare. Marketing relies on the practice website, Google reviews (40+), and patient testimonials rather than paid advertising.

Revenue mechanics are professional-services billing per procedure through insurance, with a consumer-paid premium tier on advanced IOLs not fully covered by insurance. No public revenue, funding events, or institutional ownership is disclosed; the practice is wholly physician-owned. Technology stack centers on modern cataract removal systems, advanced IOLs, and MIGS instrumentation. There is no proprietary software, API, mobile app, or disclosed AI/ML capability — the digital footprint is limited to a third-party patient portal and a content/contact website.

Products and services

• Cataract Surgery Advanced cataract removal and replacement with intraocular lenses (IOLs), using modern minimally invasive surgical techniques to restore clear vision for adult patients with cloudy or blurry lenses.
• Monofocal Lens Implants Standard intraocular lenses that provide clear vision at one distance (near or far), with most patients still requiring glasses for reading after surgery.
• Toric Lens Implants Premium intraocular lenses designed to correct astigmatism during cataract surgery, reducing reliance on glasses for distance vision.
• Multifocal and Extended Depth of Focus Lens Implants Premium intraocular lenses that provide clear vision at multiple distances, reducing or eliminating the need for reading glasses after cataract surgery.
• Glaucoma Care Comprehensive management of glaucoma including medical therapy, laser treatments, and surgical options to protect the optic nerve and prevent vision loss, delivered via referral-based specialty care.
• Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) Minimally invasive surgical procedures designed to improve glaucoma outcomes, shorten recovery time, and reduce risk compared to traditional glaucoma surgery.
• Medical Therapy for Glaucoma Prescription eye drops and oral medications used as first-line therapy to lower intraocular pressure and manage glaucoma.
• Laser Treatments for Glaucoma Laser procedures that improve fluid drainage from the eye, effectively lowering intraocular pressure and reducing dependence on daily medications.
• Presbyopia Treatment Treatment options for presbyopia, including premium lens implants that reduce dependence on reading glasses and restore near vision for adult patients.
