MIDVALE, Utah—United Ocular, a medical practice dedicated to fitting, creating, and maintaining eye prostheses, has announced the acquisition of Glenn Reams Ocularist, an ocular prosthetics practice that has served patients throughout Kansas, Kentucky and surrounding portions of Missouri, Illinois and Indiana for more than four decades. According to the announcement, United Ocular will maintain continuity of care for both Glenn Reams’ patients and those of Turntine Ocular Prosthetics. The latter practice, established by Harold (Bud) Turntine, had its patient base transition to the care of Glenn Reams in 2023.
“Glenn has dedicated more than 40 years to caring for patients and building relationships founded on trust, compassion and exceptional craftsmanship,” said Lubbi Ernjakovic, president of United Ocular. “We’re honored to continue that work and remain committed to providing every patient with the same personalized care they’ve come to expect throughout their journey.”
“After more than 40 years of practice, finding the right successor was incredibly important to me,” added Glenn Reams. “I wanted my patients to continue receiving the same level of care and personal attention they deserve. I’m confident United Ocular shares those values and will continue serving both my patients and the former Turntine Ocular Prosthetics patients with compassion, professionalism and respect.”
According to the announcement, patient care will continue to be overseen by ocularist Chadi Kouka, who has led clinical care and patient integration at United Ocular since joining the organization in 2024. With more than 15 years of experience designing and fitting custom ocular prostheses, Kouka remains committed to providing a seamless transition while maintaining the individualized care for patients.
