Covered by the practice
We are seeking a Texas-licensed optometrist to provide clinic coverage for a defined four-week period this October at our flagship Midlothian office.
This is a physician-led practice. You will walk into a full schedule, a technician team that runs a tight pre-test and workup, and a front office that keeps the day moving. Great culture. No call. No administrative burden. No production quotas.
The day is predictable: general eye care, ocular surface disease, and stable post-ops. Opportunity for additional dry eye treatments.
The people here are the reason this posting is short. Our staff have been with us for years, they like each other, and they take care of visiting doctors.
Schedule- Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
- October 5, 6, 7 / 12, 13, 14 / 19, 20, 21 / 26, 27, 28 - 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, with a scheduled lunch break

- Diagnosis and management of common anterior segment disease
- Screening and triage for glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and cataract
- Same-day chart closure in Nextech
- Doctor of Optometry (OD) from an accredited institution
- Active, unrestricted Texas optometry license, therapeutic and glaucoma certified - required at start date
- Comfort with routine cataract and refractive post-operative examinations
- Interest or experience in ocular surface disease strongly preferred
- Steady, efficient clinical pace with a patient-centered manner
