Gauge Capital LLC (“Gauge”) announced today that it has completed a majority recapitalization of Comprehensive EyeCare Partners (“CompEye” or the “Company”), one of the largest vision care management services organizations (“MSO”) in the United States. As part of the transaction, the Company’s physician and executive management teams will retain significant ownership in CompEye.

Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, Comprehensive EyeCare is focused on providing best-in-class, full-spectrum practice management and administrative services to its affiliated physicians and practices in support of their mission to deliver clinical excellence.

“The Practices and physicians affiliated with CompEye are focused on the highest standards of patient care and regulatory compliance. These Practices have delivered impressive growth and a highly satisfied patient base in the Nevada market, and we are delighted that they have chosen Gauge as their partner for the next chapter of expansion at CompEye,” said Whitney Bowman, Partner at Gauge.

Daniel Gedney, Senior Vice President at Gauge, said, “We are very pleased to partner with the leadership team and physician shareholders at CompEye to support their continued growth and success. CompEye is actively seeking to partner with additional high-performing, like-minded ophthalmology groups, both in the Southwest and across the country.”
