Optica Vision Care

What Optica Vision Care does

Optica Vision Care is a privately held optometry practice headquartered at Grand Ridge Plaza in Issaquah, Washington, founded and led by Dr. Samuel L. Ahn. The practice provides comprehensive eye care to local families and individuals, including routine eye examinations, myopia control for pediatric patients, dry eye treatment, LASIK co-management, and corrective eyewear dispensing. The practice employs 14 staff members including two optometrists (Dr. Ahn and Dr. Anna Chowaniec) and operates from a single physical location serving the Issaquah and greater Eastside Seattle market.

The clinical offering is built on advanced diagnostic and treatment technology, including Marco electronic refraction systems, Optomap widefield retinal imaging, optical coherence tomography (OCT), the Aladdin-M optical biometer for myopia monitoring, and Lumenis intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy for dry eye disease. Optica holds certifications to fit MiSight (the only FDA-approved myopia control contact lens), Essilor Stellest spectacle lenses, and atropine therapy, positioning it as a credentialed specialty provider for pediatric myopia management. Eyewear dispensing is supported by an inventory of 800+ frames including premium lines such as Silhouette.

The business model is multi-revenue-stream and consumer-direct. Revenue is generated through eye exam fees (priced at $149), eyewear and frame sales, contact lens fittings, ongoing myopia control programs (priced at $500–$800 per year), IPL dry eye treatment packages (priced at $1,600–$2,000), and LASIK co-management referral fees under a partnership with Pacific Cataract and Laser Institute (PCLI). The practice is in-network with five insurance carriers — VSP, EyeMed Access, Premera, First Choice, and Regence — and operates on a hybrid insurance/cash-pay model with self-pay exam pricing as a published anchor. The customer base consists of individual consumers and families within the local catchment area, with no enterprise or institutional contracts.
