Structured Transitions for Ophthalmology Founders
A Long-Term Home for Ophthalmology Practices
We buy ophthalmology practices from retiring physicians. We keep your staff, bring in a successor doctor, and make sure your patients are taken care of.

The Crisis
The Succession Crisis No One Is Solving
Most solo ophthalmologists nearing retirement have never had a single conversation about what happens to their practice when they are done. Their practices generate strong revenue and their patients depend on them, but more than half are over 55 with no successor in place. That's where we come in.

Clinical Governance
Guided by Physicians From Day One

What happens to my people?
Our model is built around keeping what works. The staff who know your patients, workflows, and culture are an asset. We add operational support around them, not instead of them.
Will my name stay on the door?
Yes. You built the brand and patients trust it. We're not here to replace that with a corporate name.
Are you private equity?
No. Verdira is a permanent hold company. There's no fund with a 3-5 year exit clock. No outside investors demanding a flip. We acquire, improve operations, and hold for the long term.
How are patient care standards protected?
The clinical entity stays physician-owned. We operate through an MSO structure: we handle business operations, marketing, equipment, and staffing. Clinical decisions stay with the doctor. We don't practice medicine.
Whether you're planning your exit or ready to lead your own practice, we'd like to hear from you.
