We are Advanced Surgical Mobile Eye Care and we are seeking full-time or part-time optometrists. We are a successful 25-year-old company in practicing optometry by traveling to local nursing homes in all these areas of Florida - Daytona, Jacksonville, St. Petersburg, Tampa, Lakeland, Orlando, and Sarasota. We are seeking an optometrist for the Gainesville, Jacksonville, and St Augustine area.

This is the perfect opportunity for someone interested in practicing Mobile Optometry to nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

Imagine you can practice optometry to its fullest, and your patients rarely complain since you are the voice of the patients who cannot express themselves. This group of patients often gradually lose their eyesight and/or have eye infections unnoticed by staff or poorly treated by their nurses. They have a high rate of glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, blepharitis, and a plethora of other eye diseases. These patients often greet you with a big smile when their eyeglasses are dispensed. We are equipped with portable OCT, fundus camera, b-scan, and visual fields to diagnose and monitor eye diseases. If you are compassionate and love ocular pathology, you would be a perfect match for this mode of practice compared to conventional practices.

We will offer a Partnership after 1 year of employment.
