20/20 MONEY

Thoughts and opinions on the state & future of private practice optometry from the president of a $110 million optometry organization: a conversation with John Marvin, President of Texas State Optical


Listen Later

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is John Marvin President of Texas State Optical. As one of the country’s oldest optometry business models, TSO has seen many different headwinds and tailwinds that have impacted optometry. As President of TSO over the past 20 years, John has seen TSO grow into one of the top 10 retail optical organizations in the country, doing over $110 million in annual sales across nearly 100 locations. Our conversation is wide reaching, including the pivots that TSO has made in the wake of the pandemic and influx of private equity funds into the profession, how the unique value proposition of TSO has evolved over the years (and why pratices, regardless of brand affiliation or business model, need to continue to focus their energy and efforts on the patient), the talent shortage that their doctors have been experiencing and why it’s been happening, and a variety of other topics.
