Ophthalmologist – Comprehensive Cataract Surgeon / Cornea Specialist – Full-Time – Connecticut
Locations: Norwalk, Westport, & Wilton, CT
Sign-On Bonus Available
A highly respected, physician-led ophthalmology group in Connecticut is seeking a Comprehensive Ophthalmologist, Cataract Surgeon, or Cornea Specialist to join its growing team across Norwalk, Westport, and Wilton.
This is an exceptional opportunity to step into a busy, established patient base with immediate clinical and surgical volume due to the upcoming retirement of a long-tenured physician. Whether you are an experienced surgeon or a recent residency/fellowship graduate, this role offers strong mentorship, advanced surgical exposure, and long-term partnership potential in a collaborative, physician-driven environment.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Immediate Surgical Volume
Join a high-demand practice with strong community reputation and an established referral network. Incoming physicians will benefit from immediate cataract and cornea surgical volume in a well-developed market.
Balanced Subspecialty Exposure
This role offers a strong focus on:
- High-volume cataract surgery
- Cornea and LASIK cases within the practice
- Comprehensive ophthalmology
The practice primarily refers out complex cases including neurology, pediatrics, retina, and oculoplastics—allowing physicians to focus on anterior segment and surgical growth.
Physician-Led, Collaborative Environment
Join a respected MD/OD practice built around collaboration, efficiency, and high-quality patient care.
You’ll benefit from:
- Dedicated technicians and scribes
- State-of-the-art ophthalmic technology
- Streamlined clinical workflows
- Strong physician support team
- Mentorship from experienced surgeons
Mentorship & Career Development
Mentorship opportunities are available for newer surgeons seeking guidance in both clinical and surgical development, while experienced physicians will find strong autonomy and leadership potential.
Advanced Technology
Modern facilities equipped with advanced diagnostic and surgical technology designed to optimize efficiency and patient outcomes.
Clinical Autonomy
Enjoy independence in your practice while collaborating with a multidisciplinary team that values physician expertise and input.
Long-Term Growth Potential
The practice offers equity partnership opportunities within the first few years, along with leadership development and potential involvement in clinical initiatives.
What You’ll Do
- Provide comprehensive ophthalmic care to a diverse patient population
- Perform cataract and corneal surgical evaluations and procedures
- Manage anterior segment disease
- Conduct LASIK and refractive consultations
- Collaborate closely with ophthalmologists, optometrists, and clinical staff
- Build long-term patient relationships within a growing regional practice
What We’re Looking For
- MD or DO degree with completion of Ophthalmology residency
- Fellowship training in Cornea welcomed but not required (depending on experience)
- Board-certified or board-eligible
- Strong surgical and clinical skills
- Patient-focused and team-oriented mindset
Both experienced physicians and upcoming graduates are encouraged to apply.
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive base salary starting at $350,000+
- Production and performance bonuses
- Sign-on bonus
- Partnership/equity opportunity
- Health, dental, and life insurance
- 401(k) with employer match
- Malpractice coverage
- CME allowance
- Paid time off
- Relocation assistance
