“Making the list for the second time is an achievement for the advancement of health care technology. It shows the commitment doctors have to their patients in providing them great access to health care with a focus on eye care. It is a testament to how hard providers are working to help their practices grow to meet their patients’ health care needs. When patients, doctors and their teams work together, the true magic happens in the medical community. This is such an honor to make the Inc. 5000 list, and it feels like we have only just begun,” says co-founder and CEO, Brianna Rhue, OD.

#6 ON HEALTH PRODUCTS LIST

“We are thrilled to make the list as a health care technology company that is helping connect patients back to their doctors through their contact lens prescription. Ranking No. 395 in 2024 and No. 41 in 2023 is a testament that patients and doctors are driving innovation in the health care space. Ranked No. 6 in health products companies is also compelling that health care technology is a space that is growing and only can go up. It is important to remember that as technologies are enabling health care to happen more fluidly and faster, when you put the patient and doctor back in the equation, true success and innovation thrive in this sector.” say Dr. Rhue and co-founder Jennifer Tabiza, OD.

Inc.’s ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Microsoft,

Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, Patagonia and many other household-name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate is 1,637 percent. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 874,458 jobs to the economy over the past three years.
