Restore Eye Care & Eye Gym

What Restore Eye Care & Eye Gym does

Restore Eye Care & Eye Gym is an independent, privately-held optometry practice operating since 2005 from a single location in Port Matilda, Pennsylvania (Gray's Centre, Suite 120). The practice, founded by Dr. Tracy Carpenter Sepich and joined by partner Dr. Christine Zlupko in 2010 (rebranded to Restore Eye Care P.C. in 2016), delivers comprehensive primary eye care to a broad consumer patient base spanning pediatric, adult, and senior populations across Central Pennsylvania. Core services include comprehensive eye examinations, pediatric eye care, emergency eye exams, contact lens fitting, and an optical boutique offering designer frames and precision lenses. The practice differentiates through specialty clinical lines — vision therapy (including a Remote Vision Therapy program launched via Zoom in May 2020), low vision rehabilitation with on-site occupational therapy, dry eye treatment, and management of ocular disease (glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy) — alongside specialty optical products such as Neurolens contoured prism lenses.

The underlying technology stack is conventional for an optometry practice: standard diagnostic instrumentation for visual acuity, tonometry, visual fields, and retinal imaging, combined with commercial third-party platforms — Zoom for remote therapy delivery, Formizz for online patient intake forms, and the CLX patient portal for online contact lens reordering. No proprietary software, AI/ML systems, or data platforms are evident; the practice operates within the Vision Source independent optometry network, which provides brand affiliation, purchasing leverage, and operational resources while preserving independent ownership. There is no mobile application, no API surface, and no disclosed patents or trademarks.

The revenue model combines professional service fees (exams, vision therapy, medical eye care) reimbursed through a broad set of insurance carriers (Aetna, Anthem, BCBS, CIGNA, EyeMed, Geisinger, Humana, Medicare, Tricare, United Healthcare, UPMC, VBA) and patient self-pay, with hardware revenue from frames, lenses, and contact lens sales. Go-to-market is patient-centered direct-to-consumer, driven by community involvement (Rotary, Special Olympics Opening Eyes, Scouting, Centre Volunteers in Medicine), content marketing via blog and social channels (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest), local SEO, and patient reviews. The practice is a member of Vision Source and has received multiple Pennsylvania Optometric Association awards, most recently the 2025 H. Wald Ewalt Meritorious Service Award to Dr. Sepich.
