America's Best Eye Doctors 2022

By Newsweek

America's Best Eye Doctors 2022

Newsweek is proud to announce our annual ranking of America's Best Eye Doctors. For the second year in a row, we've partnered with the respected global data research firm Statista to find the 350 best ophthalmologists and optometrists in the country.

We surveyed over 10,000 ophthalmologists, optometrists, clinic managers and other healthcare professionals across the country and, based on their recommendations, selected the 175 best ophthalmologists (MDs or doctors of osteopathy who specialize in treating the eye) and 175 optometrists (licensed professionals who have earned a post-college doctor of optometry degree). We did not rank opticians, who are trained to design and fit eyeglasses and lenses but not to diagnose or treat diseases or injuries.

We were looking the doctors who had earned the most respect from their peers in three categories: the quality of care they provide, the continuity of care and the quality of the technology they use in their practices. If you are looking for an eye doctor, we hope you'll find our ranking helpful.

Methodology:
The America's Best Ophthalmologists and America's Best Optometrists 2022 ranking awards the leading 350 eye doctors in the US. The ranking distinguishes ophthalmologists and optometrists in seperate lists to account for the substantial differences in services and treatments provided.

• In total, 175 ophthalmologists and 175 optometrists were awarded.
• Eye doctors from all US states were eligible for the ranking.
• During the survey period from May to June 2022, over 10,000 medical experts (ophthalmologists, optometrists, clinic managers and healthcare professionals) were invited to an online survey. In total, over 5,500 votes were collected and analyzed during the survey period.
• A score was calculated for each eye doctor based on the number of recommendations, a quality score and – if available – membership status in the American Board of Ophthalmology and the American Board of Optometry, respectively.
• In-state recommendations were weighted higher than out-of-state recommendations. • Recommendations within one doctor group were weighted higher than recommendations from the other specialty (ophthalmology for optometry and vice versa).
• In the ophthalmologist survey, participants were also able to specify a standout treatment (cornea, retina, glaucoma) for the recommended ophthalmologists (if applicable).
• Most awarded eye doctors work primarily in an outpatient practice where patients can schedule direct appointments with the respective eye doctor (as opposed to inpatient settings).

Scoring Model
1. Recommendation: 80 percent of score
In state recommendation: 35 percent of score
Survey participants were asked to name the leading optometrists and ophthalmologists in their own state or in one of four regions (northeast, midwest, west and south). The order in which recommendations were provided was relevant to the ranking (number 1 has the highest weight). Participants in the ophthalmologist survey were asked to specify a standout treatment in (cornea, retina, glaucoma)
• Self-recommendations were not allowed and lead to disqualification from the survey.

Out of state recommendation: 25 percent of score
Survey participants were asked to recommend the leading doctors in their respective field in any of the other states or four regions included in the survey.

Recommendation by other speciality: 20 percent of score
Optionally, ophthalmologists were able to recommend optometrists and vice versa.

2. Quality: 15 percent of score

A quality score was calculated for each in-state recommendation along three quality dimensions.
Participants were asked to rank the doctors on a scale from 1 ("poor") to 100 ("excellent") on:
• quality of care (50 percent of quality score)
• continuity of care (30 percent of quality score)
• quality of technical equipment (20 percent of quality score)

3. Accreditation: 5 percent of score
Doctors who are members of the American Board of Ophthalmology and the American Board of Optometry, respectively, had an additional 5 percent added to their total score.

The rankings are composed exclusively of eye doctors that are eligible regarding the scope described here. A mention in the ranking is a positive recognition based on peer recommendations. The ranking is the result of an elaborate process which, due to the interval of data-collection and analysis, is a reflection of the last 12 months only. Furthermore, any events following June 22, 2022, were not considered in the metrics. As such, the results of this ranking should not be used as the sole source of information for future deliberations. The information provided in this ranking should be considered in conjunction with other available information about eye doctors or, if possible, accompanied by a visit to the clinic. The quality of eye doctors that are not included in the rankings is not disputed.
