Description
About the role
As a Clinical Manager at MyEyeDr., your role is to oversee a group of practicing Optometrists across a set of offices in a defined geographical area. This is a multi-unit optometric leadership role designed for experienced Optometrists with strong clinical judgment and a proven track record in high-volume, high-performance practice environments. In this role, you will translate clinical strategies into reality and advocate for the patient and Optometrist experience. In practice, that means you sit at the intersection of care quality and people experience—a rare and powerful opportunity within healthcare organizations.
Your schedule is thoughtfully split between in-clinic time (60%) and dedicated leadership time (40%) so that you stay current on best practices and maintain credibility as you lead your team of Optometrists. In your leadership capacity, you influence patient care standards by ensuring clinical excellence through observation and coaching and supporting early tenure Optometrists. You will also expand patient access by matching appointment demand with Optometrist availability (schedules) and participate in the hiring process of new Optometrists.
Reporting to a Regional Clinical Director (also an Optometrist), you will be part of the Professional Services field leadership team who reports to the Chief Medical Officer. You will partner frequently with Operations field leadership, HR Business Partners, and the clinical workforce planning team.
You will
- Provide in-clinic patient care at your primary office each week and fill in at alternate locations as needed for coverage gaps or during peak periods.
- Conduct structured clinical observations focused on efficiency, diagnosis and treatment, and patient records.
- Document and share findings from observations to provide timely, actionable coaching remediation plans.
- Reinforce consistent patient experience and clinical standards across your assigned offices.
- Reinforce Optometrist scheduling expectations and proactively address gaps in coverage or future staffing needs.
- Partner with practice Operations leaders to balance exceptional patient care with business performance.
- Interview candidates for position openings and serve as a clinical ambassador for Optometrist onboarding.
- Influence Optometrist engagement by building relationships, fostering a culture of belonging, recognition, and accountability as well as connecting day-to-day clinical work to MyEyeDr.’s broader mission and strategy.
- Mentor Optometrists who are in their early years of practice.
About you
- Doctor of Optometry (O.D. degree).
- 5+ years of optometry experience or equivalent breadth across multiple practice environments, with demonstrated leadership through managing, mentoring, or leading clinical initiatives, projects, onboarding, education, or operational improvements showing readiness to guide peers and uphold clinical standards.
- Broad clinical exposure within optometry, including experience across multiple doctors, locations, or practice modalities (e.g., commercial, private practice, ophthalmology-integrated settings, or multi-site organizations).
- 2+ years of experience influencing and collaborating with other doctors, including coaching, mentoring, facilitating clinical discussions, or leading doctor meetings or reviews.
- 2+ years of experience leading end-to-end initiatives, such as clinical process improvements, onboarding programs, chart audits, EHR optimization, or operational quality initiatives.
- 2+ years of experience using clinical and operational data to influence performance and outcomes across practices.
- Ability to influence without formal authority, demonstrating leadership through collaboration, credibility, and partnership with doctors and clinical teams.
- Commitment to integrating clinical care and optical services to enhance the patient experience and practice performance.
- Proficiency with clinical and operational systems, including EHR, scheduling platforms, and reporting tools (e.g., Eyefinity EHR, Acuity, Encompass; Microsoft Suite of tools including PowerBI; etc.)
- Strong communication and organizational leadership skills, including the ability to facilitate doctor discussions and promote consistent clinical standards across locations.
- Ability to travel regionally up to 40% to support observations, coaching, and practice engagement.

- Healthcare & Medical Services
What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in clinical optometrist jobs.
- Doctor of Optometry degree from an accredited optometry school
- Active state optometry license in the state of employment
- Proficiency in comprehensive eye exams and slit-lamp biomicroscopy
- Experience with electronic health record documentation and billing
- Therapeutic pharmaceutical agent certification for diagnosis and treatment

Tips for Your Clinical Optometrist Job Search
Tailor your resume to each setting
Private practice, retail, and hospital-based roles expect different things from your resume. Emphasize patient volume and scope of care for clinical positions, and lead with any therapeutic pharmaceutical agent certification or glaucoma co-management experience when targeting full-scope practices.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists clinical optometrist openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Highlight your EHR system proficiency
Employers increasingly screen for fluency with specific electronic health record systems. Name the platforms you've used in your clinical rotations or practice history, and note whether you've handled medical billing workflows, since many OD roles now fold in that responsibility.
Target openings that match your licensure state
Optometry licensure is state-specific, and hiring timelines often hinge on your license being active in that state before your start date. If you're open to relocation, start the reciprocity or endorsement process early so it doesn't delay an offer.
Prepare case-based interview answers in advance
Many clinical optometrist interviews include scenario questions around challenging diagnoses, managing co-morbid ocular and systemic conditions, or handling a patient who declines a referral. Walk through your clinical reasoning out loud, not just the conclusion you reached.
Negotiate your full compensation package
Clinical optometrist offers frequently include production bonuses tied to patient volume or optical sales. Understand how the bonus structure is calculated before you accept, and ask whether continuing education allowances, equipment costs, and malpractice coverage are included.
Clinical Optometrist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most clinical optometrists?
The companies hiring the most clinical optometrists right now include US Military Treatment Facilities under DHA, MyEyeDr., and Comprehensive Mobile Care, with the largest share of openings in Texas, Maryland, and Massachusetts, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Retail optical groups and regional health systems tend to post the highest volume of openings consistently throughout the year.
How many clinical optometrist jobs are remote?
About 17% of clinical optometrist openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most OD roles. The sub-areas most compatible with remote work include telehealth consultations, vision therapy follow-up appointments, and administrative or clinical leadership roles that do not require in-person patient examination.
How do you become a clinical optometrist?
Becoming a clinical optometrist requires completing a bachelor's degree with the prerequisite science coursework, then earning a Doctor of Optometry degree from an accredited program, which includes both didactic study and clinical rotations. After graduating, you must pass the National Board of Examiners in Optometry examinations and obtain an active license in the state where you plan to practice before seeing patients independently.
How do you get hired as a clinical optometrist with little experience?
New-grad clinical optometrists are most competitive when they can show breadth of clinical rotation experience, particularly in settings that mirror the employer's patient population. Retail optical and community health center roles often offer structured mentorship and are more open to new graduates than independent private practices. Demonstrating comfort with a full scope of care, including therapeutic management, strengthens your candidacy even without years of post-graduate experience.
What does the clinical optometrist interview process look like?
Most clinical optometrist hiring processes begin with a phone or video screen focused on your clinical background, licensure status, and scheduling availability. A second stage typically involves a site visit where you meet the clinical team, tour the facility, and may shadow a current OD. Some employers include a case-based discussion or ask you to walk through how you approach a specific diagnosis, particularly for roles with a specialty focus.
Where can I find and apply to clinical optometrist jobs?
You can find and apply to clinical optometrist jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from practices, optical groups, hospital systems, and community health centers across the United States. Search for roles that match your specialty, preferred setting, and location, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
