The company started in the metro D.C./Virginia area, expanding in the surrounding markets over the company’s first several years in business. Beginning in 2014, armed with a minority investment from Monitor Clipper at the time, MED, already at 46 locations, embarked on several more visible acquisition deals, including North Carolina’s Doctors Vision Centers and Eye Care Associates. By 2015, Canada’s Altas Partners and Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec joined with MED’s management to acquire MyEyeDr. and its Capital Vision Services group. Further deals of high profile optometric groups and practices started to ramp up. In August 2019, Goldman Sach’s Merchant Banking Division acquired the group, with some of the prior investors maintaining a stake, but enabling further acquisitions and a range of new strategic resources and investments. At the end of 2021, MyEyeDr. stood at approximately 820 offices across 27 states.
