(PRESS RELEASE) VIENNA, VA. AND BOSTON — MyEyeDr., a leading provider of eye health services with more than 880 locations across the U.S., has teamed up with innovative multi-party payment leader CoFi to simplify the payment process for patients who require both optometry and ophthalmology services. Now available to MyEyeDr. patients in all 29 states where the company operates, this new partnership reduces both time and stress for anybody referred by their MyEyeDr. optometrist to a trusted local ophthalmologist for LASIK, cataract surgery, or other vision correction procedure.
With CoFi’s payment platform, patients who undergo surgery from an ophthalmologist don’t need to pay separately at both the MyEyeDr. office and the ophthalmology practice. Instead, they receive a single comprehensive invoice for their optometry and ophthalmology services. Through a single, convenient payment event, patients make separate, distinct payments to the two practices —reducing administrative time for both MyEyeDr. and partner ophthalmologists so they can remain focused on high-quality patient care.
“Eye surgery can be a major, often stressful, event in a person’s life. Paying separate bills from different medical practices shouldn’t add to a patient’s anxiety,” said Sue Downes, CEO and co-founder of MyEyeDr. “With our focus on making eyecare simpler for everyone, we’re proud to collaborate with CoFi to help bring much-needed ease and transparency to vision care payments.”
“CoFi’s platform was created to simplify the patient payment process, which has historically been a complex and cumbersome one for patients and providers alike,” said Sean Hanlon, CEO of CoFi. “MyEyeDr.’s nationwide adoption of our platform signifies their commitment to improving their patient’s experience and underscores the value CoFi brings to vision care providers.”
MyEyeDr. was founded in 2001 to make the vision care process easier for both patients and optometrists. As part of this commitment, the company welcomes all insurances, with in-house insurance experts who handle all the processing and paperwork on behalf of patients. Every MyEyeDr. practice is equipped with the latest in vision care technology, staffed with knowledgeable optometrists and eyewear consultants, and stocked with eyewear to fit every budget, style or need. As part of the comprehensive eye wellness exam, MyEyeDr.’s state-of-the-art retinal imaging can detect more than 250 diseases and conditions, often determining whether a patient needs a surgical referral to an ophthalmologist.
MyEyeDr. and CoFi began its collaboration with a subset of MyEyeDr.’s offices in late 2024 before launching in all 880 locations this month.
