ABOUT TLCVISION^®

Our complimentary subsidiaries provide wide-ranging advantages to our network of doctors.

Subsidiary Brands

REFRACTIVE:The world's most widely performed elective procedure.

The Refractive segment comprises laser centers and the fixed and mobile access business. It provides corrective laser surgery primarily relating to refractive disorders such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Historically, TLCVision has performed more than 1.5 million procedures.

Early in 1994, the first TLC Eye Centers^® facility, a division of TLCVision, opened in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Now, over 70 centers later, TLC Laser Eye Centers is North America's largest provider of laser vision correction services with more than 770,000 procedures performed. TLCVision was founded on the philosophy of working with some of the most experienced eye doctors and maintains a strong commitment to the co-management model with affiliate optometrists. The TLC Laser Eye Centers brand services the premium market segment, which is a slightly older, higher income consumer who is highly influenced by their doctor's recommendation and deliberate about making the decision to have surgery.

The TruVision^TM subsidiary is a leading managed care contractor for elective health care services. TruVision^TM serves as a patient acquisition channel for the refractive centers.

Through the LaserVision^® subsidiary, independent surgeons gain laser access and technical support with the most complete refractive laser service program in the industry.

CATARACT: The world's most widely performed non-elective procedure.

The Sightpath Medical subsidiary provides surgical equipment and services for cataracts, glaucoma, and refractive procedures including Intralase. As the leading U.S. provider of these services, we believe surgeons and facilities choose to outsource cataract surgery, SLT, and LASIK to us based on our custom approach, reliability, state-of-the-art equipment, and affordability.

Sightpath is also the exclusive U.S. distributor of the Foresee PHP, a critically important device for monitoring age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

The OR Partners® subsidiary develops, acquires and manages ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), consisting of single- and multi-specialty ASCs in conjunction with physician practices.
