Report Highlights Quality and Sustained Clinical Excellence Across Clinically Integrated Network of Ophthalmology and Optometry Practices

EyeCare Partners (ECP), the nation’s leading provider of clinically integrated, doctor-led eye care, today released its 2025 Quality and Outcomes Report, highlighting sustained clinical excellence, patient satisfaction and measurable progress in integration, innovation and overall patient experience.

Building on the foundation established in its inaugural 2024 report, ECP delivered more than 2.5 million clinical encounters and 170,000+ surgeries in 2025, while maintaining strong clinical outcomes that frequently outperform national benchmarks. The report reflects a network that strengthened care across ophthalmology and optometry, supported by doctor leadership across clinical decision-making.

“Our 2025 Quality and Outcomes Report demonstrates what is possible when care remains doctor-led and data-informed at national scale,” said Dr. Antonio Capone, Jr., Chief Clinical Officer. “We maintained exceptional clinical outcomes strengthened by clinical integration and advanced innovation. Quality continues to drive every decision we make to help patients protect, preserve and restore vision.”

“This report reflects the high quality of our clinically integrated, doctor-led model and the dedication of our doctors, clinical teams and supporting colleagues across the country,” said Chief Executive Officer Chris Throckmorton. “We are proud of the outcomes we achieved in 2025, and are even more focused on continuing to elevate standards, expand access and improve lives through exceptional and visionary care.”
