Resources: Jobs in Optometry

spectacle Lenses
 

Berkeley Optometry hosts a web page for Doctor of Optometry jobs and opportunities to purchase optometric practices — see Positions & Practices (also see the first link below).

In addition, other websites of varying quality and usefulness provide job searches and information services. Some may charge fees to the job seeker; others assess recrutiment costs only from prospective employers. We have listed a selection of those most directly related to optometric employment or practice sales (in mostly alphabetical order and with no preferences intended).

Note: Read the following before using the postings on this site:
