OCLI, a Spectrum Vision Partners (SVP) managed practice, today announced it will be welcoming William Boozan, MD to the OCLI team of doctors. Dr. Boozan is a Comprehensive Ophthalmologist, Laser Cataract and Refractive Surgeon. He will see patients in OCLI’s Oceanside and Valley Stream locations beginning October 16th, 2019.

Dr. Boozan joins OCLI after his impressive career which spans several decades in various leading medical and educational facilities. He received his undergraduate degree from Princeton University, and his medical degree from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine before completing both a general surgery residency and later an ophthalmology residency at Saint Vincent’s Hospital and Medical Center of New York.

In addition, Dr. Boozan has held positions as Residency Training Coordinator and Chief, Glaucoma Service, at Sisters of Charity Medical Center in Staten Island, New York; and Clinical Instructor at both New York Medical College and Sisters of Charity Medical Center, Physician’s Assistant Program, in Staten Island, New York.

He is currently writing, “The Prevalence of Early Posterior Capsular Fibrosis Post-Cataract Surgery in Patients Using Latanaprost for Intraocular Pressure Control,” in cooperation with P. Pal and. R. D’Amico.

OCLI is one of seven managed practices to join Spectrum Vision Partners since November 2017, when Spectrum announced its strategic relationship with the growth-oriented, private equity firm Blue Sea Capital. Since then, 26 eye doctors and 10 locations have been added across five affiliates.

SVP administratively supports the growth and management of some of the leading ophthalmology practices and eye ambulatory surgery centers in the New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut Tri-State area. In addition to OCLI, managed practices include Island Eye Surgicenter, Ophthalmic Consultants of Connecticut (“OCC”), New Vision Cataract Center, Glaucoma Associates of Long Island, Eye Institute of New York, Long Island Eye Care, Precision Eye Care, and Huntington Eye Care.

Tom Burke, CEO of Spectrum Vision Partners, commented, “OCLI is honored to expand our partnerships with innovators and thought leaders in the Ophthalmology space. This broadens our community to which we can provide exceptional, expert care.”

Dr. Boozan is equally as excited to join the OCLI community, “After decades of clinical service, I am excited to work within a community of ophthalmic leaders, providing the utmost in care to patients and the community.”

Spectrum will continue to assist OCLI to build centers of eye care excellence, with the best and brightest clinicians we can attract. I look forward to future partnerships with the community of eye care providers who recognize OCLI’s long history of transparent business transactions, their focus on excellence, and Spectrum’s proven ability to fulfill their vision and meet their long-term goals.”
