Part-Time Associate Optometrist

Plainville, CT | 2–3 Days/Week | 8:00/8:30 AM–5:00 PM | No Evenings

Competitive Compensation: Approximately $52,000–$96,000+ annualized, depending on schedule, experience, and production

Clear Horizon Eye Care is a growing independent private practice looking for a part-time Associate Optometrist to join our team.

Our patient demand has continued to grow, and we are currently booking patients several months out. We have the space, technology, support staff, and established patient base to add another doctor now.

This is a genuine 2–3 day per week position with weekday hours only (8:00/8:30 AM–5:00 PM), no evening clinics, and no routine weekend clinical hours.

We are looking for an optometrist who enjoys caring for children and adults, values collaboration, and wants to practice thoughtful, comprehensive optometry in a supportive private practice environment.

Why Join Our Practice?

We are a well-established practice with 3 doctors and 14 staff members, serving Plainville and surrounding communities for more than 40 years.

In 2025, we moved into a newly renovated 10,000-square-foot facility designed to support advanced clinical care while maintaining the personal relationships that make independent optometry special.

We believe you should be able to:

• Practice excellent optometry

• Work efficiently

• Finish your charting during the workday

• Go home at the end of the day

Our systems, EHR workflow, technology, and support staff are designed to help make that possible.

Clinical Scope

Our practice provides a broad range of care, including:

• Medical eye care and ocular disease

• Dry eye and ocular surface disease

• Glaucoma management

• Diabetic eye care and macular degeneration

• Acute and urgent eye care

• Pediatric eye care and InfantSEE

• Amblyopia, strabismus and binocular vision disorders

• Vision Therapy

• Myopia management (Atropine, Multifocal CLs, Ortho-K, Stellest)

• Specialty contact lenses (Scleral, RGP, Hybrid and Pediatric Aphakia)

• Cataract, LASIK, corneal and CXL co-management

• Comprehensive refractions, prism and optical care

You do not need to have experience in every area. We welcome new graduates, residency-trained doctors, and experienced ODs.

A Practice That Supports Your Interests

Do you have a specialty or clinical interest you would like to grow?

We are open to creative ideas and enjoy helping doctors develop areas of practice they are passionate about. We do not believe every doctor needs to practice exactly the same way.

If you can provide excellent patient care and contribute to the success of the practice, we are happy to explore opportunities that fit your strengths and interests.

Schedule

• 2–3 weekdays per week (M/W/F)

• 8:00/8:30 AM–5:00 PM

• No evening clinics

• No routine weekend clinical hours

• Light rotating doctor on-call schedule (historically very few calls, if any, per month)

Compensation

We want this to be a well-compensated part-time clinical position, not a scaled-down opportunity.

Compensation is based on experience, training, schedule, and production.

For reference, our current full-time compensation structure is:

• New Graduate: $130,000 annualized for a 5-day schedule + production bonus

• Residency-Trained OD: Approximately $160,000 annualized for a 5-day schedule + production bonus

For a 2–3 day schedule, this translates to an approximate annualized base of:

• 2 days/week: $52,000–$64,000

• 3 days/week: $78,000–$96,000

Additional production-based compensation provides further earning potential.

We are flexible and willing to structure compensation thoughtfully for the right doctor. Experienced ODs with strong production histories may wish to discuss alternative compensation models.

Who Will Thrive Here?

We are looking for someone who is:

• Comfortable seeing both children and adults

• Thorough and efficient

• Adaptable and eager to learn

• A strong communicator

• Collaborative and team-oriented

• Interested in advanced optometric care

• Looking for a supportive, long-term professional home
