With a 5,000-square-foot clinic, five exam lanes, two floors of eyewear gallery space, technician-driven exams, ongoing training, and a daily patient volume of approximately 25 to 30 patients, this is an exciting opportunity to join a growing practice focused on clinical excellence, operational efficiency, faster eyewear turnaround, and expanded access for the community.

This opportunity offers flexibility, with 20 to 40 hours per week and part-time options available.
