Austin Medical is dedicated exclusively to the Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) market. Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASC), also called outpatient surgery, and same-day surgery, refers to surgical procedures which are complex enough to require a dedicated operating room and specially trained staff, but do not require an overnight stay. According to 1996 U.S. government statistics, ambulatory surgery centers account for 31 million or 44% of the total surgeries performed in the United States. Five million surgeries were performed on eyes. New surgical techniques such as laser surgery allow procedures to be done more quickly and/or with less surgical trauma.

Under the brand name eyeDirecti, Austin Medical is initially focused on Ophthalmology owned and operated surgery centers which is the fastest growing segment of the ASC market, growing by 25% per annum, consisting of 2,500 practices with 15,000 surgeons performing over 5 million surgical procedures annually at a supply cost of $400,000,000 per year. Austin Medical is positioned to capture $40,000,000 (10%) of this $400,000,000 market within the next 4 years. Visit our e-commerce site at http://www.eyedirecti.com
