Eye Care Leaders Acquires iMedicWare to Launch Fully Integrated Technology Platform for Ophthalmology

Eye Care Leaders (ECL) today announced the acquisition of iMedicWare, a provider of integrated EHR, practice management, ambulatory surgery center software, and optical solutions designed exclusively for eye care practices. ECL, an industry leader of ophthalmic and optometric practice performance solutions, has named Arun Kapur, the founder and CEO of iMedicWare, to head their portfolio of technology solutions, including EHR, practice management, and other software.

With more than a decade in the industry, Kapur is a trusted name in ophthalmic software and technology. He brings to his new role as the leader of ECL's software business his NJ-based team, extensive eye care experience, customer service focus, and a strong record of proven results.

"As partners, we share the same vision of providing our customers with dynamic applications and services suitable for the continuously evolving ophthalmic landscape," says Kapur. "I look forward to leveraging ECL's resources and innovation to complement and enhance not only iMedicWare's top-of-the-line suite of solutions, but the host of other technology offerings within the portfolio, to benefit the ophthalmic and optometric community."

"We are proud to have iMedicWare join our family of solutions that are solely focused on eye care," says Brent Michael, Chief Commercial Officer at Eye Care Leaders. "The team that Arun has built for iMedicWare is outstanding, and we look forward to his leadership in building the same level of excellence for all of our portfolio companies."

iMedicWare will provide the technology platform necessary for Eye Care Leaders to offer a comprehensive, fully-integrated solution. In addition, iMedicWare also makes possible for ECL to offer iMedicWare's ASC (News - Alert), a fully integrated, comprehensive solution to meet every aspect of an Ophthalmic Ambulatory Surgery Center's nees. iMedicWare's ASC includes remote surgical scheduling, customizable consents, inventory management, and other solutions for ophthalmic and multi-specialty ambulatory surgery centers.

"While we recognize that this acquisition represents the creation of our comprehensive product set, we will also continue to provide support for all software solutions in our family, as promised," Michael said. "Sales and customer engagement with our solutions has never been greater - we now serve over 40 percent of the ophthalmic market - and Eye Care Leaders is confident our platforms and family of solutions will provide the best choices for eye care practices in the coming years. We will prove that every day through innovation, customer service, and integrity."

Both companies will be exhibiting at the AAO 2017 conference in New Orleans on November 11-14. They will be showcasing the new solutions and offering hands-on demonstrations throughout the weekend at booths #3714 and #4939 in the exhibit hall.
