BUSINESS: Private Equity Panorama Eyecare Establishes New LASIK Division Following Addition of Boulder Eyes/Beyer LASIK By Staff Tuesday, August 9, 2022 12:27 AM FORT COLLINS, Colo.—Panorama Eyecare (PEC), a physician-led management services organization and the largest comprehensive eyecare organization in the Rocky Mountain region, said Monday that it has formed Panorama LASIK, a group of vision correction centers under the Panorama Eyecare MSO organization. Additionally, Panorama Eyecare said that Panorama LASIK will be the LASIK Partner of the National Football League’s Denver Broncos. The announcement noted that Panorama LASIK will be “Colorado's premier refractive surgery group,” with laser centers located at Denver Eye Surgeons, Boulder Eyes, and Eye Center of Northern Colorado.The Panorama LASIK team currently includes eight surgeons and affiliated staff with plans for adding more vision correction centers and partners. Panorama LASIK’s service lines incorporate elective vision correction procedures, including laser vision correction (LASIK, PRK, SMILE), EVO Visian ICLs, and refractive lens exchange with the latest technology and focus on patient care. The move to create the new LASIK division comes after PEC recently (in July) acquired Boulder Eyes/Beyer LASIK, which is one of the three LASIK practices under the Panorama LASIK group. Panorama Eyecare and Archimedes Health Investors announced last December that they had formed a strategic partnership amid a $150 million initial capital investment, as VMAIL reported. The investment, some of which dates to PEC’s founding in February 2021, helped boost the management services organization’s ability to form its initial strategic partnerships with eight eyecare groups in the Rocky Mountain region. Boulder Eyes/Beyer LASIK is a leading provider of LASIK in Boulder, Colo., and it was founded by Dr. Craig F. Beyer, a board-certified ophthalmologist, fellowship trained in corneal and refractive surgery. Dr. Beyer will transition his patients' care to new providers Sam Long, MD, and Summer Lara, OD, at the Boulder Eyes location. “The formation of Panorama LASIK gives us a tremendous opportunity to continue our growth, expand our physician network and improve access to our premium patient experience and premium LASIK services,” Marcello Celentano, Panorama Eyecare’s chief CEO. “Our partnership with the Denver Broncos will allow us to introduce Panorama LASIK to Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region while supporting our hometown team.” Panorama LASIK will debut as the LASIK Partner of the Denver Broncos ahead of the Broncos’ first preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys on Aug. 13, the announcement noted. “The Denver Broncos are proud and excited to align with Panorama LASIK. Given the scale and presence of Panorama Eyecare here in the Rocky Mountain region, we know that Broncos Country has great coverage for LASIK with this Colorado based organization. We are excited to begin this journey with Panorama as our proud hometown partner in LASIK,” Darren O’Donnell, vice president of business development for the Broncos, noted.
