Why join us?

Established in 2006, Lake Ridge Eye Care is a trusted optometry practice dedicated to offering top-notch primary eye care services to communities throughout Texas. With a commitment to excellence, the practice endeavors to provide the highest level of quality eye care, ensuring optimal vision and eye health for its loyal following of patients.

A skilled team of six staff members work diligently to meet the needs of each individual, creating a positive and rewarding experience for all who step through its doors.

What you'll do:

As an Associate Optometrist, providing comprehensive eye care to a diverse range of patients is a top priority. Your duties will encompass a variety of optometric services, allowing you to utilize your expertise in diagnosing and treating various eye conditions. Patient appointments are scheduled every 30 minutes, with follow-up appointments interspersed throughout the day—a typical day consists of 10 to 15 patients. The practice features advanced diagnostic tools such as Optomap, Humphrey visual fields, NCT, and ARK. This state-of-the-art equipment will aid in accurate assessments and precise treatment plans. The position is part-time, offering 16 to 21 hours per week or two to three days per week. Scheduling flexibility allows you to balance your professional responsibilities with personal commitments, making it an attractive opportunity for someone seeking work-life balance.

Who we're seeking:

The ideal candidate embodies a combination of essential qualities and skills to support a commitment to exceptional patient care. Excellent people skills and the capability to foster a friendly and welcoming environment that puts patients at ease is important to this role. Strong clinical skills are also highly valued, as the doctor will be responsible for conducting thorough examinations, accurately diagnosing conditions, and prescribing appropriate treatments. The ability to work independently is critical—the Associate Optometrist will help support the current doctor, who requires more time away from the office. A valid TG license is a requirement for this position; while previous experience is preferred, new graduates who exhibit potential and a willingness to learn are encouraged to apply. By joining the team, you'll contribute significantly to the practice's goals of preserving excellent patient care and embracing efficient work practices.
