Optometry practice valuation hinges on something most generic calculators miss: the optical dispensary. Practices with strong optical and contact-lens product revenue carry recurring income that buyers pay a premium for, while exam-only practices trade lower. Framing this split is the difference between a fair price and a discount.
Use this calculator to model SDE and EBITDA multiples for your practice. Medical optometry (ocular disease management, specialty contact-lens fitting) and vision-plan participation rates materially change the buyer pool and the multiple.
Worked example
An optometry practice collecting $1.1M with about $300K SDE and a 2.4x multiple implies roughly $720K of value. A dispensary-heavy practice with strong recurring optical revenue and medical optometry can push toward the top of the 1.8–3.0x SDE range, meaningfully raising the estimate.
Key takeaways
- Optical dispensary and contact-lens revenue add recurring value buyers pay up for.
- Medical optometry and specialty fitting widen the buyer pool beyond associate ODs.
- Compare SDE-based pricing (owner-operator) against EBITDA pricing (management-company buyers).
