OptiCare

OptiCare Health Systems was a prominent provider of integrated eye care services, operating primarily through managed vision care and consumer vision segments. The company managed eye health benefits for insurers, employer groups, and HMOs while also operating retail optical centers that provided corrective lenses, frames, and contact lenses. Historically based in Waterbury, Connecticut, OptiCare expanded through the acquisition of ophthalmic practices and managed care contracts before being acquired by Refac Optical Group in 2005. Its business model focused on streamlining the delivery of vision care by combining administrative management with direct clinical and retail services.
