WHAT WE DO

LION Eye Group provides a unique and progressive alternative to private practice optometrists and opticians looking to increase their valuation by becoming turnkey.

The LION group network is unparalleled as it offers increased benefits for both the Optometrist and the Patient. By combining resources, and keeping control of operations, this alliance of successful practitioners allows for higher profitability and ultimately a higher practice valuation upon exiting the business.

The structure of LION creates an opportunity for practitioners to maintain the practice survival, the patient experience, and their passion for eye care. The cooperative foundation increases the benefits for the doctors, the patients, and the healthcare system.
