Optometrist 1-2 Days/Week - Opportunity to do Specialty CL and/or Pediatrics if Interested!

Looking for an awesome OD to join the Bright Eyes Milford team 1-2 days/week, with the potential to add more days in the future.  Our office is all about stellar customer service and connecting with our patients- we are hoping to find someone who may be interested in staying with us long-term! 

Bright Eyes Milford is a new, fully independent OD-owned practice in the heart of Milford, CT, founded by Dr. Samantha Rao.  We opened as a cold start in June 2024 and are growing fast.  We provide full scope medical and vision care as well as contact lenses and pediatrics, and we have a beautiful optical with unique, independent frame lines and great customer service.

Hours:  The office is open 10-6 but hours are flexible within that time frame.  No weekends.  If you prefer an earlier start, it is likely we could arrange that pending discussion with staff.

Compensation: Negotiable- $80-$100/hour depending on experience with potential for additional production-based income.  Patients are scheduled every 30-45 minutes.

Benefits: Paid time off and health insurance stipend available based on hours worked. 

New Technology: Patients are pretested by technician and we have all new and modern equipment - Reichert VRx automated phoropter, Eidon Ultra WideField fundus camera with AF, iVue 80 OCT, Tonoref II, Medmont Meridia corneal topographer, VR visual field, and planning to add scleral profilometry for specialty contact lens fitting soon as well.  Paperless charting with RevolutionEHR, e-prescribing and Weave phone system with texting capability.

Specialty Care:  You have the option to provide specialty care (Specialty CLs and/or Pediatrics), but if you do not wish to, those patients can be scheduled with me (Dr. Rao) instead.  Happy to provide training if you are interested in building your skills in either of those areas.  I personally do specialty contact lenses including sclerals, corneal GPs, ortho-K, and myopia control and see patients ages 2 and up.  You may set a higher starting patient age if you wish based on your comfort level.

Insurances: We accept most major medical insurances, and only VSP and Eyemed for vision plans.  Will provide assistance with credentialing if needed.

If interested, email to set up a time to chat - Samantha Rao, OD at [email protected]
