New partnership gives ophthalmology practices access to specialized contracts and significant discounts
Buygility is excited to announce a new GPO partnership with EyeProGPO, expanding the purchasing opportunities available to ophthalmologists and physician practices.
Through the partnership, Buygility members now have access to EyeProGPO’s full portfolio of ophthalmology-focused physician preference items (PPI) at significantly discounted prices. These specialized contracts complement the thousands of discounted contracts already available to Buygility members for medical and surgical products, facilities, maintenance, and other operational needs.
For ophthalmology practices facing rising costs for specialized products, equipment, pharmaceuticals, and everyday supplies, the partnership provides another way to control expenses without compromising the products and resources they rely on for patient care.
Specialized Purchasing for Ophthalmology Practices
Ophthalmology is a highly specialized field, and many of the products used by eye care practices fall outside the typical medical supply categories covered by a traditional group purchasing organization.
EyeProGPO brings a purchasing portfolio developed specifically around the needs of ophthalmology practices.
Through EyeProGPO, Buygility members can find savings opportunities across several important areas, including:
- Pharmaceuticals
- Exam lanes
- Laser systems
- Retina
- Dry eye
- Advisory services
- Surgical and surface instruments
- Other ophthalmology physician preference items
These categories give practices an opportunity to look beyond general medical supplies and address some of the more specialized—and potentially significant—areas of ophthalmology spending.
Access to Leading Ophthalmology Suppliers
Another advantage of the EyeProGPO partnership is access to contracts with many recognized names in ophthalmology and healthcare.
The partnership flyer identifies participating suppliers including Alcon, Ambler Surgical, Bausch + Lomb, BioTissue, Corza Medical, Fagron, IRIDEX, Johnson & Johnson, Lumibird Medical, OASIS, and Topcon Healthcare, with additional suppliers available through the program.
For ophthalmology practices already purchasing products from participating suppliers, EyeProGPO contracts may provide an opportunity to access more competitive pricing on products they already use.
Adding Ophthalmology Savings to Buygility’s Broader Purchasing Portfolio
The EyeProGPO partnership is especially valuable because ophthalmology practices don’t purchase only ophthalmology products.
Like any healthcare organization, an eye care practice also spends money on medical and surgical supplies, office products, technology, facilities, maintenance, and other services required to keep the organization running.
That’s where the combined purchasing opportunities become particularly useful.
EyeProGPO brings specialized ophthalmology purchasing opportunities, while Buygility provides access to a much broader portfolio of contracts for the everyday products and services a practice needs.
Together, these resources allow ophthalmology practices to take a more comprehensive look at purchasing rather than focusing on only one category of spend.
More Than Better Pricing
Group purchasing isn’t simply about finding a lower price. It’s about making procurement easier and giving practices greater purchasing leverage.
Current EyeProGPO members highlighted in the partnership announcement point to both savings and support as benefits of the program.
Bryan Bayne of Pacific Cataract & Laser Institute describes EyeProGPO as a partner invested in the organization’s success, while Tom Burke, CEO of Spectrum Vision Partners, reports that the organization is saving thousands and highlights the program’s ease of enrollment and member support.
For busy ophthalmology practices, that combination of competitive pricing, specialized contracts, and purchasing support can help reduce the administrative burden of continually researching suppliers and negotiating pricing independently.
A Stronger Purchasing Resource for Ophthalmologists
The EyeProGPO partnership is part of Buygility’s continued effort to connect members with purchasing solutions tailored to their industries and specialties.
By combining EyeProGPO’s ophthalmology expertise with Buygility’s broader group purchasing resources, ophthalmologists can identify savings across more of their organization—from specialized clinical products and technology to the everyday supplies and services required to operate their practice.
The goal is simple: help ophthalmology practices buy smarter, control costs, and keep more resources focused on delivering exceptional patient care.
