Visionworks of America, Inc. (previously known as Doctors' Value Vision) manages a network of 711 optical retail locations spanning 40 states in the U.S. plus the District of Columbia. Founded in 1988, the company is based in Downtown San Antonio, Texas and employs around 8,000 individuals.
Originally part of HVHC, a subsidiary of Highmark Inc., Visionworks’ earlier parent company, ECCA Holdings Corp., merged with Pittsburgh-based HVHC in 2006. At that point, ECCA operated 385 stores across 36 states, making Eye Care Centers of America Inc. a fully owned subsidiary under Highmark.
The company provides a wide selection of frames, lenses, sunglasses, and related accessories. Its services encompass contact lens fitting, complimentary adjustments and repairs, as well as access to optometrists on site. Additionally, Visionworks offers contact lenses through its online platform.
On June 27, 2019, VSP Global announced its intention to purchase Visionworks, with the acquisition finalized on October 1, 2019.
