CHARLOTTE, N.C.—Alpine Capital LLC, a lower middle market health care-focused financial services firm, reported that it has provided $7.5 million in financing to Claris Vision Holdings, a five-year old company that brings together some of New England’s top eyecare practices—including Eye Health Vision centers.

Claris Vision, formed in 2011, has more than 45 physicians on staff, and its facilities provide comprehensive eye exams, urgent/emergency care, eyewear assistance at optical shops, exams for contact lenses, diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma, cataract surgery, intraocular lens implants (IOL), macular degeneration treatment, diabetic retinopathy, dry eye treatment and laser vision correction (LASIK), among other services, according to its website.

Claris Vision operates 14 eyecare facilities in southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

The financing consisted of a $3 million senior secured revolving line of credit, a $2.5 million senior secured term loan and a $2 million equipment lease line, according to a joint statement. The proceeds are earmarked for working capital purposes, including the refinancing of current debt, and to support capital expenditures and potential future acquisitions.

“Alpine Capital worked diligently to structure a capital solution that met our growth needs,” Claris Vision chief executive officer Marcello Celentano said in the statement. “It was evident through their health care finance industry expertise and strong understanding of the eyecare space specifically that we were partnering with the best capital source possible.”

Alpine Capital chief executive officer Alan Regdos said the financial services firm was “pleased to support” Claris, in part because of the latter’s strong capitalization, excellent management team and leading market presence. “Claris Vision is an example of how our services can help support practices to maximize growth and thrive in a highly competitive environment,” Regdos said.
