Why join us

EYEcenter Optometric's mission is to provide the most personalized, distinctive eye care experience in California.

As a valued member of the EYEcenter Optometric team, you'll practice in a modern, state-of-the-art clinic serving the diverse Sacramento area community, providing comprehensive eye care to patients of all ages and conditions. You'll utilize advanced diagnostic technology, including retinal cameras, OCT, visual fields, and automated refracting systems, while supported by a highly trained team.

Why You'll Love Sacramento

Located in America's farm-to-fork capital, Sacramento offers local artisanal coffee and craft brews, picturesque neighborhoods, freshwater rivers and lakes, and culturally rich activities and events. One of its greatest advantages is the ideal weather—hot summers with low humidity and cool nights, plus mild winters and subtle weather changes that allow the changing of seasons. Its proximity to some of California's most visited destinations—Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, Napa, Monterey Bay, Santa Cruz, and Yosemite, to name a few—makes it an ideal place to call home.
