About Retina Alliance
Built for retina. Only for retina.
A physician-led group purchasing organization, built with practice leaders for independent retina practices serving their local patient communities — and for no one else.
What practices told us
Every specialty GPO in this class of trade answers to somebody else
The specialty GPOs serving the clinic class of trade are owned by large corporations that also serve competing segments of healthcare. Speaking with independent retina practices across the country, we heard one account repeatedly.
- Attention goes to hospital systems, retail pharmacies and PBM clients.
- Operations have lost their specialty focus.
- Lean account teams offer quick fixes where strategy was needed.
- In short: practices felt stuck, with nowhere else to turn.
Why we exist
Founded to change that
Retina Alliance is dedicated entirely to independent retina practices, and we are raising the standard for specialty GPO service, collaboration and performance.
Our pharmaceutical contracts, paired with technology-driven solutions and hands-on service, give members the tools to strengthen their financial position and take control of their future in an increasingly complex healthcare landscape.
Together with our members, we intend to open a new chapter of productivity and growth for community retina practices — so they can keep delivering exceptional care, their way.
Our manifesto
To be a true ally to retina practices in protecting the vitality and value of community-based patient care — by increasing their purchasing power, amplifying their advocacy, improving their efficiency, and strengthening their financial health.
More than a mission. We are committed to earning and keeping the trust of our members, partners and teammates for the long term, while delivering real, measurable value.
Our shared values
The standard we hold ourselves to
Five commitments, held at once. They are the foundation of how Retina Alliance operates, every day.
- Transparent
- We operate with complete openness and candor. Respect, authenticity and integrity are built into how we work, not stated as aspirations.
- Remarkably Reliable
- We show up, follow through, and build relationships you can count on — consistently, and without exception.
- Active Innovators
- We push to find better ways forward: solving real problems, improving how practices operate, and uncovering opportunities that create lasting value.
- In Your Corner
- We listen actively, respond promptly, and stay proactive. We take our stake in your success seriously, because your outcomes are our outcomes.
- Community Champions
- We are relentless advocates for independent, community-based retina care — and equally committed to building a team that reflects the communities our members serve.
