WARWICK – Koch Eye Associates continued its 40-year history of growth in Warwick with a ribbon-cutting and grand opening ceremony for its new, 6,000-square-foot family eye care center, located at 615 Greenwich Ave. on Oct. 12.

“Koch Eye Associates was established nearly 40 years ago, growing from a modest office on Toll Gate Road and a staff of three people, to a practice that today boasts more than 50 doctors in one of the largest eye care practices on the East Coast,” said Mayor Scott Avedisian, who attended to help founders Drs. Paul Koch and Patricia Koch celebrate the company’s expansion into the new space. “Yet, even as they continued to expand their business and become leaders in the field, they have never forgotten their Warwick roots.”

Founded by Dr. Paul Koch in 1981, Koch Eye Associates, a Claris Vision company, is one of the largest eye care practices on the East Coast. With more than 50 doctors treating patients at many offices from Connecticut to Cape Cod, the practice also includes two laser vision centers and two surgery centers. Koch Eye provides comprehensive eye care and eye surgery services.

“They not only boast some of the most well-respected and knowledgeable doctors in the region, but, equally important, Koch Eye has been an active part of the community. From supporting mentoring programs, holiday drives and benefits, and sponsoring sports teams – not to mention the hours that employees give on an individual basis to local organizations – they have truly demonstrated that Warwick is not just a place of business, it’s a city they call home,” Avedisian said. “I am thrilled to help them celebrate this newest milestone, and know that their patients will continue to receive the exceptional quality of care that Koch Eye has become known for. On behalf of the residents of Warwick, I offer my heartfelt congratulations to everyone at Koch.”

The building features a new Optical Shop with a wide array of products from favorite brands, including Maui Jim and Oakley; a surgical counselor on hand to provide advice and referrals for advanced, specialized treatment; and a family-friendly waiting area with refreshments.

Dr. Paul Koch said the new center will enhance patients’ experience: “Each time we open a new office, we learn from our previous locations and make it better than the last one. This newest office is more convenient, more versatile, and more technologically advanced than the one it replaced, all details that lead to improved patient care and outcomes.”
