About the company

AEG Vision

Hospitals and Health Care · 1,001 to 5,000 employees

Helping optometry practices improve patient outcomes while keeping care local.

Overview: AEG Vision partners with optometry practices to strengthen both patient care and practice performance. We preserve the local brand, team, and clinical approach while providing the scale and infrastructure that independent practices often lack. That includes investment in technology, equipment, supply chain, and operational support.

Our model is designed to: - Improve patient outcomes - Reduce operational complexity for doctors - Create long-term value for practices and their teams

We work with practices navigating industry pressure from consolidation, managed care, and rising operating costs, and give them a path to grow without losing what makes them local.

Community: We support access to vision care through partnerships with Prevent Blindness and in-practice programs that fund exams and eyewear for underserved communities.
