Triangle Eye Consultants

What Triangle Eye Consultants does

Triangle Eye Consultants is a privately-held ophthalmology and optometry practice operating from a single outpatient clinic at 9650 Brier Creek Parkway, Suite 103, Raleigh, North Carolina, serving the Raleigh-Durham Research Triangle market. The practice is physician-owned and led by Dr. Preeya K. Gupta, MD (a board-certified cornea and refractive surgery specialist, former Tenured Associate Professor at Duke University Eye Center from 2011-2021), Dr. Patrick Schultz, OD (Minnesota Eye Consultants residency-trained, with subspecialty focus in dry eye disease), and Dr. Amanda Steele, OD. The organization has approximately 5 employees and operates Monday-Friday from 8am to 5pm. No external investors, parent company, or PE/VC backing are indicated.

The practice delivers a multi-specialty eye care portfolio across six core service lines: blade-free all-laser LASIK (Wavelight excimer + FS200 femtosecond), LenSx femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery with premium IOL options (Toric, Clareon Vivity EDOF, Clareon PanOptix trifocal), a multi-modality dry eye specialty clinic (Lumenis IPL with OPT, TearCare, BlephEx, Forma-I RF, meibomian gland expression), corneal disease management including diagnostics for Fuchs Dystrophy and Keratoconus, routine eye examinations, and Neogen nitrogen plasma facial rejuvenation as an adjacent aesthetic offering. Diagnostic capability is supported by advanced corneal mapping and tomography. The technology stack is sourced from third-party medical device manufacturers rather than developed in-house.

Revenue is generated through a mix of insurance-reimbursed professional services (basic cataract surgery billed under CPT 66984, routine eye exams) and high-margin elective procedures (premium IOLs, LASIK, dry eye treatment series, facial rejuvenation). Basic surgical services are filed to medical insurance with patient responsibility for copays and deductibles; premium technology upgrades and elective procedures are paid out-of-pocket, with Care Credit providing interest-free financing. All services are delivered in-person at the single clinic; no telehealth or third-party distribution channels are utilized. Patient acquisition relies on the practice website, self-referral, and physician referrals from local primary care doctors and optometrists, with no documented paid advertising channels.
