Eye Care Centers of America, Inc.
 PROFILE
Eye Care Centers of America hasn't quite mastered the eye-center market, but it is among the top eyewear chains. The company runs about 360 optical stores in about 30 states (primarily Texas and Florida). Its stores operate under the EyeMasters name and a host of others, including Dr. Bizer's VisionWorld, Hour Eyes, VisionWorks, and Vision World. Its stores, located nationwide (mostly in malls), sell about 400 styles of eyeglass frames under its own and designer brands. Eye Care Centers' stores offer one-hour service and on-site processing labs; independent optometrists are located inside or adjacent to the stores. Investment firm Thomas H. Lee owns about 90% of Eye Care Centers, which was founded in 1984.
