Optometrist Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a optometrist in Florida?
To practice optometry in Florida you must hold an active license issued by the Florida Board of Optometry, which requires a Doctor of Optometry degree from an accredited program, passing scores on all parts of the National Board of Examiners in Optometry examination, and a completed application to the Florida Department of Health. Florida does not offer reciprocity, so out-of-state licensees must apply through the same board and demonstrate active licensure in another state along with meeting Florida's continuing education requirements.
How much do optometrists make in Florida?
Optometrists in Florida earn a median of about $151,670 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $62,490 for the lowest 10% to over $196,210 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire optometrists in Florida?
Employers hiring optometrists in Florida right now include MyEyeDr., Warby Parker, and National Vision, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Florida's mix of large retail optical chains, independent practice groups, and integrated health systems means openings are spread across both high-volume commercial settings and clinic-based roles tied to major hospital networks.
Which Florida cities have the most optometrist jobs?
Jacksonville, Miami, and Sarasota have the most optometrist openings in Florida. Miami's large and diverse population drives demand at both retail and specialty clinic levels, while Tampa and Orlando support strong openings through their concentration of regional health systems, large employer-sponsored vision programs, and growing suburban patient bases that attract both chain and independent practice operators.
Are there remote optometrist jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're rare. Optometry is a hands-on clinical role requiring in-person examination, so most positions require full on-site presence. About 0% of optometrist openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those roles tend to be in telehealth triage, ocular imaging review, or vision care management rather than primary patient examination.
How can I get hired as a optometrist in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an optometry residency or associate doctor role at a Florida-based retail optical group or multi-site private practice, where structured supervision replaces the experience requirement. Chains such as MyEyeDr and Walmart Vision Centers in Florida routinely onboard new graduates into associate positions with mentored schedules. Florida's community health centers and federally qualified health clinics also post new-grad openings that value a Florida Board of Optometry license and externship rotations over years of independent practice.
Where can I find and apply to optometrist jobs in Florida?
