Optometrist
Job Description
I am looking for a candidate who is interested in exploring whether Victoria is the place for them to settle down in an assocate position, which may lead to full ownership. This unique opportunity is to take the practice for a test drive for a month, starting October 14, 2025 and ending November 11, 2025. During that time period, I will be taking the trip of a lifetime, so I will need someone to jump in and continue providing quality eye care for our patients. Applicants must be board certified to practice in British Columbia. If your fresh out of school, don't worry, my friendly and experienced staff will be here to help. I am looking for a business minded Optometrist (having a BCom or MBA degree would be helpful but not necessary) so that the long term goals for the practice can be realized as the baton gets passed from myself to the next owner. There will be no pressure to continue as an associate in the practice once the locum work is finished November 11th. My need for an OD to cover me when I am travelling is most important, but if it translates into a permanent associate position, that would be a excellent!
My clinic is appoaching 29 years old. I started the full service Optometry clinic from scratch in 1996. We dispense eye glasses and contact lenses and we offer Neurolens testing to see if a patient might benefit from specialty prism. In addition to comanaging Cataract and Glaucoma patients, we offer Dry Eye treatment using our InMode RF/IPL insrument. I've kept our operation small, employing 2 full time staff members and 1 part time staff member. I do all my own pretesting and contact lens fitting, and my part time staff does the eye glass dispensing, visual fields and RF/IPL treatments. I am 60 years old and I would like to ease into retirement by passing the baton to a new owner over a 5-7 year period.
