Join a Practice Where Doctors Are Empowered to Be Doctors

Are you looking to practice optometry in a setting that values your clinical judgment, builds meaningful patient relationships, and allows you to make a real difference?

AtCarlson Eyecare Centers, we believe great patient care starts with giving doctors the freedom to practice the way they were trained. Our model prioritizes time with patients, personalized care, and a commitment to doing what’s right—both inside and outside the exam room.

We are not a cookie-cutter operation. We empower our optometrists to:

• Practice full-scope optometry
• Make decisions based on patient needs—not production quotas
• Build lasting patient relationships that bring people back year after year
• Provide in-house solutions whenever possible, from specialty contacts to ocular disease management

We see ourselves as more than just providers—we’re problem solvers, educators, and advocates for our patients’ total eye health.

We understand that access to care is a challenge for many. That’s why our team regularly gives back through:
