Job Description

Optometrist

Patients come in hoping for clearer vision and leave with a plan they trust. This role sits at the center of full-spectrum eye care—primary exams, medical optometry, and co-management of surgical candidates—so the right clinical judgment changes outcomes the same day. You will own the patient relationship from first measurement to follow-up, and you will be measured by the quality of those decisions, not by how many charts you close.

• Deliver comprehensive eye exams that detect refractive, ocular-health, and systemic findings early enough to change the care plan.
• Manage medical optometry cases—dry eye, glaucoma suspects, diabetic and macular disease—to documented stability or timely referral.
• Co-manage cataract and refractive-surgery patients so pre- and post-operative visits meet protocol and patients know exactly what happens next.
• Fit contact lenses, including specialty and medically necessary lenses, with first-fit success that patients can sustain.
• Convert exam findings into clear recommendations patients accept, raising capture of prescribed glasses, contacts, and indicated procedures.
• Keep documentation complete the same day so coding, co-management, and continuity of care never depend on memory.
• Coach technicians on workups so your exam time is spent on diagnosis and counseling, not rework.

You will practice inside a physician-led ophthalmology and optometry group that also provides optical, cataract, and LASIK services. Modern diagnostic equipment, an on-site optical, and surgical partners are already in place—you will not build the infrastructure. You report to the clinical leadership of the practice and work daily with ophthalmologists, opticians, and technicians. Schedule, support staff, and clinical protocols are set so you can see a full panel without sacrificing exam quality.

• Doctor of Optometry and an active license eligible for practice in Florida.
• Therapeutic certification and comfort managing glaucoma, ocular surface disease, and diabetic eye disease.
• Hands-on experience co-managing cataract and refractive-surgery patients.
• Proven contact-lens fitting skill beyond soft spherical lenses.
• Habit of same-day, audit-ready charting and accurate procedure coding.
• A communication style patients understand and technicians can follow.

• Full-scope optometry next to surgeons—not a refraction-only lane.
• In-house optical and refractive services so the care plan does not end at the prescription.
• Established patient flow and diagnostic technology, so you practice medicine from day one.
• A private practice large enough to support you and small enough that your outcomes are visible.

If you want your clinical judgment to drive real patient outcomes, apply with your license status and a short note on the cases you most want to own.
