Entry Level Optometrist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level optometrist job?
Start by completing your Doctor of Optometry degree and passing both parts of the NBEO boards, since most employers require licensure before your first day. Externship experience in a clinical or retail setting gives you a real edge at this stage. Tailoring your application to show hands-on patient care hours, the equipment you have used, and any subspecialty rotations helps you stand out against other new graduates.
Which companies hire entry level optometrists?
Companies hiring entry level optometrists right now include MyEyeDr., Warby Parker, and Vision Service Plan, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a mix of retail optical chains, private practices, and healthcare systems that regularly onboard new graduates and support early licensure needs.
Are there remote entry level optometrist jobs?
Yes, though most optometrist roles require in-person patient care. About 1% of entry level optometrist openings are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those positions typically involve telehealth consultations, vision screenings, or administrative and clinical support work that does not require hands-on examination.
Are these new grad optometrist jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior optometrist roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts clinical externships or internships toward the experience requirement, or explicitly states that a strong portfolio of patient care hours can substitute for post-graduation work history. Look for language like 'new graduates encouraged to apply' or 'externship experience accepted.'
Which industries hire the most entry level optometrists?
Entry Level optometrist roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Medical Devices, and Insurance, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Those sectors drive hiring at this level because they maintain high patient volume and regularly need to fill clinical chairs with newly licensed graduates ready to practice independently.
