Job description

Job Description

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.

Other Pertinent Details:

• Full-scope practice looking for an Optometrist who can treat the elderly population
• On average 20-25 patients daily with most exams being medical, short, and brief
• An ophthalmic technician is available to locate patients, perform preliminaries, and fit glasses.
• A scribe is available for your brief note-taking
• All portable optometric equipment is provided and you will be trained
• $600-$1000 with the ability to earn $150K-$200k. Your rate is per diem with bonuses and you would be paid as 1099-Misc. We reimburse mileage above 50 miles per day.
• There are no weekends. Your work schedule on most days is much shorter than 8 hours.
• The requirement is an active license to practice Optometry in the State of Florida.
