We're constantly asking ourselves how we can do more and make a greater impact, and that starts by reimagining everything that a company and industry can be. We want to demonstrate that a business can scale while doing good in the world, without charging a premium for it. And we’ve learned that it takes creativity, empathy, and innovation to achieve that goal.
Since the day we launched in 2010, we’ve pioneered ideas, designed products, and developed technologies that help people see. We offer everything you need for happier eyes at a price that leaves you with money in your pocket, from designer-quality glasses and contacts to eye exams and vision tests, and you can meet us online, at our stores, or even in your home. Wherever and whenever you need it, we’re there to make exceptional vision care simple and accessible. (Delightful, too.)
Ultimately, we believe in vision for all, which is why for every pair of glasses or sunglasses we sell, a pair of glasses is distributed to someone in need through our Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program.

Optometrist Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a optometrist in Texas?
To practice as an optometrist in Texas, you must hold a Doctor of Optometry degree from an accredited school and pass the National Board of Examiners in Optometry examinations. The Texas Optometry Board issues all licenses and requires completion of its application, background check, and proof of therapeutic pharmaceutical agent certification. Texas does not offer licensure by endorsement on the same terms as some states, so out-of-state applicants must apply directly to the Texas Optometry Board.
How much do optometrists make in Texas?
Optometrists in Texas earn a median of about $126,000 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $54,180 for the lowest 10% to over $164,420 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire optometrists in Texas?
Employers hiring optometrists in Texas right now include MyEyeDr., National Vision, and National Vision, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's large population base and growing suburban communities mean both retail optical groups and independent practice management organizations maintain consistent hiring activity across the state.
Which Texas cities have the most optometrist jobs?
Tyler, Dallas, and Fort Worth have the most optometrist openings in Texas. Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth lead because of their sheer population size and concentration of retail optical chains, hospital-affiliated eye clinics, and private group practices, while San Antonio's steady growth and large military-connected patient population support consistent demand at both commercial and clinical employers.
Are there remote optometrist jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. Optometry is a hands-on clinical role that requires in-person patient care, so fully remote positions make up a very small share of openings. About 0% of optometrist openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, and those tend to be in tele-optometry triage, vision therapy consultations, or administrative and clinical director roles that carry reduced chair time.
How can I get hired as a optometrist in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an optometry residency, and Texas has several accredited programs through institutions such as the University of Houston College of Optometry and VA facilities in Houston and San Antonio. Large retail employers like LensCrafters and MyEyeDr regularly hire new graduates into associate optometrist roles with structured onboarding. A therapeutic drug license and strong externship documentation in medical optometry give new graduates a clear competitive edge over candidates with limited clinical hours.
Where can I find and apply to optometrist jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to optometrist jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring across the state. Find the roles that fit your experience and preferred location, then apply directly to those positions.
