Ophthalmologist

Comprehensive Ophthalmologist with Cornea, Anterior Segment, or Glaucoma Training

Vision NYC is a physician led ophthalmology practice providing comprehensive medical, surgical, and refractive eye care across Manhattan and Queens. Our practice combines advanced technology with a personal, patient focused approach to care.

We treat a broad and diverse patient population, with a particularly strong need for the management of cataracts, glaucoma, keratoconus, corneal disease, ocular surface disease, and other complex anterior segment conditions. Our services include comprehensive ophthalmology, cataract surgery, laser cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery, premium lens technology, corneal cross linking, refractive surgery, dry eye treatment, specialty contact lens care, and routine eye care.

We are seeking a skilled and personable ophthalmologist to join our growing team and work across both our Manhattan and Queens locations.

The Opportunity

The incoming ophthalmologist will develop a busy medical and surgical practice supported by an established referral network, experienced clinical staff, optometrists, surgical coordinators, and a strong administrative team.
