Across the country, many ophthalmology practices have been acquired by large corporate groups and private equity corporations. While these organizations can help a practice grow, they can also shift the patient-centered focus, daily workflows, scheduling, and overall positive patient experience. At Commonwealth Eye Surgery, staying locally and privately owned means decisions are made right here in your back yard. The focus remains on the Kentucky communities and their needs, providing high-quality care and maintaining strong relationships with patients and referring doctors in our local Kentucky communities.

Care Designed With You in Mind

One challenge patients sometimes experience with large corporate medical groups is scheduling. When appointments are managed through call centers or limited staffing, it can take longer to be seen. Commonwealth Eye Surgery manages scheduling locally, which often allows patients to access to next-day evaluations and in many cases can schedule surgery within about a week. For people looking for a vision solution, that kind of access can make a huge difference.

A More Personal Approach

Independently owned practices also have the flexibility to focus on the patient experience. Instead of a high-volume, “factory-style” environment, the team takes time to provide personalized care and understand how patients use their vision day to day. When recommending options like intraocular lenses, those conversations often include lifestyle factors, which include whether someone spends hours reading, enjoys golfing, or simply wants greater freedom from glasses.

Advanced Technology Close to Home

Commonwealth Eye Surgery being independently owned allows the opportunity to have the most up to date technology to ensure the most advanced vision correction options. We offer a wide variety of vision correction options including refractive cataract surgery with our LensAR system and custom Wavelight treatments for our LASIK patients. Because the practice is privately owned, investments in new technology can happen when they benefit patients, not when a corporate board approves them.

Proud to Be Kentucky-Owned

Being Kentucky proud isn’t just a slogan. It means the doctors and staff are invested in the same communities they serve, and we partner with your local eye doctor to ensure that your vision needs are met. Patients aren’t treated like numbers on a spreadsheet, they’re neighbors. For people considering vision correction, that local commitment can make the experience feel very different.
