Medical Optometry Opportunity | Advanced Technology | Eastern Iowa

A well-established, multi-location private practice in eastern Iowa is seeking a full-time optometrist to join its collaborative team. This is an excellent opportunity for a doctor who enjoys practicing medically focused optometry while working alongside an in-house ophthalmologist in a technology-driven environment.

Approximately 80-90% of patient care is medical, offering extensive opportunities to diagnose and manage ocular disease while providing comprehensive eye care to patients of all ages. Clinical interests such as specialty contact lenses, pediatric eye care, myopia management, post-operative care, and medical optometry are all welcomed and supported within the practice.

The incoming optometrist will work closely with an ophthalmologist who performs cataract consultations and surgery, creating excellent co-management opportunities for providers interested in surgical care and disease management. Additional exposure to foreign body removal and medical eye care makes this an ideal position for an optometrist looking to practice at the top of their license.

The practice has made a significant investment in technology and offers access to an impressive suite of diagnostic and treatment equipment across its locations, including:

• Zeiss Clarus retinal imaging systems
• Cirrus OCT at all offices
• Corneal topography
• JETT Plasma II
• Virtual Reality Visual Field testing
• Digital exam lanes
• Goldmann tonometers
• YAG laser
• Multiple slit lamps and autorefractors

Dry eye management is a major focus of the practice, with providers utilizing advanced treatment technologies to deliver comprehensive care. Most notably, the practice is among only a handful in the country to offer the JETT Plasma II, a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment designed to improve meibomian gland function, promote tissue regeneration, and address evaporative dry eye disease. This provides an exciting opportunity for an optometrist interested in expanding their expertise in one of the fastest-growing areas of eye care.

Patients also benefit from access to one of the largest optical selections in southeast Iowa, with more than 1,000 frames available across a wide range of styles, brands, and price points. This commitment to offering a comprehensive patient experience reflects the practice’s continued investment in both its facilities and the communities it serves.

Dedicated technician support allows providers to focus on patient care, with doctors typically seeing approximately four patients per hour, including two comprehensive exams and two medical follow-up visits per hour.
