I have commented on this question somewhere in a previous post.
 
It is interesting to me that Ophthalmologists that teach at UMKC are affiliated with:

http://www.sabateseye.com/about_us/index.html

Which have many centers in the KC area.

Have they found a successful way to bridge academic teaching and entrepeneurship? Perhaps this is common and I just don't know... If they have, kudos to them.

Other than the "interesting" comments I am not qualified to comment.

Btw, University of Kansas Ophtho program is associated with the Hunkler Eye Center which is a famous refractive surgery center.
 
Many ophthalmologists at other programs participate in private practice to some extent but the specific restrictions are university dependent.
