Optometrist Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a optometrist in Pennsylvania?

To practice as an optometrist in Pennsylvania, you must hold a Doctor of Optometry degree from an accredited program and obtain a license from the Pennsylvania State Board of Optometry. The board requires passing all sections of the National Board of Examiners in Optometry examinations. After submitting your application, proof of degree, and examination results, the board issues your license before you begin seeing patients independently.

How much do optometrists make in Pennsylvania?

Optometrists in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $135,400 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $92,970 for the lowest 10% to over $173,380 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire optometrists in Pennsylvania?

Employers hiring optometrists in Pennsylvania right now include MyEyeDr., LensCrafters, and Specialty Care, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Pennsylvania's mix of large academic health systems, independent retail optical chains, and community health centers means openings are distributed across both major metro areas and smaller regional markets.

Which Pennsylvania cities have the most optometrist jobs?

Pittsburgh, York, and Lancaster have the most optometrist openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia's concentration of academic medical centers, specialty eye hospitals, and retail optical locations drives the highest volume, while Pittsburgh's integrated health systems and Allentown's growing suburban population fuel demand in their respective regions.

Are there remote optometrist jobs in Pennsylvania?

Yes, but they're rare. Optometry is fundamentally a hands-on clinical role requiring in-person patient exams and diagnostic equipment, so fully remote positions are uncommon. About 0% of optometrist openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those tend to be in telehealth triage, prior authorization review, or vision care consulting rather than direct patient care.

How can I get hired as a optometrist in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying for an optometry residency or a new-graduate associate position at a large Pennsylvania health system or retail optical group. Geisinger and Penn Medicine run structured residency programs in primary care and ocular disease that are open to new ODs. Independent and corporate practices in suburban Philadelphia and Pittsburgh regularly post associate roles that include mentorship. Holding a current Pennsylvania State Board of Optometry license and completing a NBEO therapeutic pharmaceutical agents certification strengthens your application ahead of candidates who have not yet secured those credentials.

Where can I find and apply to optometrist jobs in Pennsylvania?

You can find and apply to optometrist jobs in Pennsylvania on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Find roles that fit your specialty, preferred location, and practice setting, then apply directly to each employer through the listing.
