Spectrum Vision Partners (SVP), a leading management services organization in ophthalmology, continues its growth trajectory with the recent affiliation of Long Island Eye Care (LIEC). This marks the seventh such partnership for SVP since November 2017, further solidifying its position in the Tri-State region’s competitive eye care market. The addition brings esteemed eye care professionals Michael Sable, MD, Barry Fisherman, MD, Edward Baron, MD, and James Kelly, MD, along with LIEC’s established practice, into the Spectrum Vision Partners network.
This strategic move underscores Spectrum Vision Partners’ commitment to building a network of top-tier ophthalmology practices. Since partnering with Blue Sea Capital, a private equity firm focused on growth, SVP has expanded significantly, adding 24 eye doctors and 12 locations to its affiliated practices. This expansion strengthens its network of nationally recognized, multi-specialty ophthalmologists and optometrists across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
Long Island Eye Care, under the leadership of Dr. Michael Sable, has earned a strong reputation for its dedication to advanced technology, comprehensive services, and patient-centered care. Joining OCLI, an existing Spectrum Vision Partners managed practice, will enable LIEC to enhance its service offerings and further elevate patient care.
Dr. Sable expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “As part of the OCLI group, Long Island Eye Care and our patients will benefit from maintaining the care they expect from us, enhanced by the expertise of a leading management services organization in ophthalmology.” This sentiment highlights the value proposition of Spectrum Vision Partners: allowing practices to maintain their clinical autonomy while benefiting from robust administrative and operational support.
Dr. Eric Donnenfeld of OCLI echoed this positive outlook, welcoming LIEC and emphasizing the shared commitment to patient care. “Long Island Eye Care’s long-standing commitment to the community aligns perfectly with OCLI’s values. Together, we can provide even greater access to world-class eye care for more patients.”
Tom Burke, CEO of Spectrum Vision Partners, emphasized the strategic importance of this affiliation. “We are thrilled to strengthen the OCLI practice hub with the addition of Long Island Eye Care. Their dedication to high-quality outcomes and patient experience resonates deeply with Spectrum Vision Partners’ mission. We are committed to supporting OCLI in creating centers of eye care excellence by partnering with outstanding clinicians. Spectrum Vision Partners offers a transparent and physician-focused approach, supporting leading doctors in achieving their long-term professional goals.”
Spectrum Vision Partners plays a crucial role in supporting the growth and operational efficiency of leading ophthalmology practices and ambulatory surgery centers in the Tri-State area. Their network includes prominent practices such as Island Eye Surgicenter, Ophthalmic Consultants of Connecticut (OCC), New Vision Cataract Center, Glaucoma Associates of Long Island, Precision Eye Care, Huntington Eye Care, and Eye Institute of New York, in addition to OCLI and now Long Island Eye Care. The organization’s rapid expansion is evident in its employee growth, nearly doubling to over 700 employees in the last 18 months. Spectrum Vision Partners provides a comprehensive suite of business services, allowing its network of multi-specialty ophthalmologists to focus on delivering exceptional patient care. The company’s recent corporate office relocation further demonstrates its commitment to enhanced customer service and support for its growing network.
