About the Role
We’re looking for a skilled and patient-focused Optometrist to join the Beyond Eyecare team. You’ll be the heart of our practice — delivering comprehensive eye exams, diagnosing and managing ocular conditions, and helping patients see the world more clearly. We’re a practice that genuinely cares about both our patients and our team, and we’re excited to find a doctor who shares that commitment. Anticipated start date is June 1st, 2026.
What You’ll Do
• Perform comprehensive eye exams and vision assessments
• Diagnose, treat, and manage a wide range of ocular conditions and diseases
• Prescribe corrective lenses, contact lenses, and medications as needed
• Counsel patients on eye health, preventive care, and treatment options
• Collaborate with the optical team to ensure patients get the right eyewear solutions
• Maintain thorough and accurate patient records
• Contribute to a welcoming, patient-first practice culture
What We’re Looking For
We welcome applications from new graduates and experienced ODs alike — what matters most is who you are as a clinician and a person, not just what’s on your CV. We’re not looking for someone to fit a mold. We’re looking for someone who adds to our culture: a perspective, an approach, or an energy that makes our team and our patients better.
• Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree from an accredited institution
• Active Virginia state optometry license (or eligibility to obtain one — new grads encouraged to apply)
• A genuine curiosity about patients — you listen first, diagnose second
• The kind of communicator who makes complex things feel simple and patients feel respected
• Someone who brings their own ideas and isn’t afraid to say “here’s a better way”
• Organized and dependable, with the clinical confidence to manage a full schedule
• Excited to be part of something — not just employed by something
Schedule
You’ll work five days per week on a consistent, rotating schedule:
• Monday: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM
• Tuesday: 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM
• Wednesday: 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM
• Thursday: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM
• Friday: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
• Saturday: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM (rotating)
• Sunday: Off
Why You’ll Love Working Here
• Competitive $145,000 base salary — no production pressure or hidden strings
• Work directly with practice ownership, not a distant corporate office
• All professional fees covered: liability insurance, Virginia licensure, and membership dues for VOA and NVOS
• 10 days PTO, six paid holidays, plus a paid birthday off each year
• Full medical, dental, and life insurance benefits
• 401(k) plan, HSA, and group term life insurance
• $200 annual eyecare & eyewear allowance plus generous employee discounts
• $500 annual lifestyle credit to support your well-being and work-life balance
• A practice culture built on doing right by patients — no sales quotas, no corporate scripts
If you’re a dedicated clinician who wants to practice optometry the right way — with autonomy, great support, and a team that truly cares — we’d love to meet you.
