What Our Optometrists Say:

In private practice, it can sometimes feel like you're not doing anything special since patients can easily go to another clinic for the same experience. However, in a correctional setting, the patients are genuinely appreciative of the help you provide because they don't have many people willing to assist them. This appreciation is what keeps many of our optometrists coming back day after day, year after year. The gratitude expressed in this setting is often greater than what is seen in private practice, and this is also true for community health work.

Requirements:

\tDoctor of Optometry (OD) degree
\tValid optometry license
\tStrong desire to make a positive impact on underserved populations
