San Francisco Eye Institute is a modern, technology-driven ophthalmology practice dedicated to delivering comprehensive, high-quality eye care. Our team utilizes advanced diagnostic tools and innovative treatments to manage a full spectrum of eye conditions, from routine vision care to complex medical and surgical disease. Our ophthalmology services include cornea and cataract, glaucoma, and oculoplastic care, providing an excellent environment for an OD interested in collaborative and specialty-focused practice.
We are seeking an Optometrist for a part-time position with the opportunity to grow into a full-time position.

- Independent clinical decision-making within OD scope, with appropriate support and collaboration
- Involvement in post-cataract care, including LDD treatments
- Opportunities for exposure to and collaboration in cornea, cataract, glaucoma, and oculoplastic care
- Opportunity to provide specialty contact lens care, including scleral lens fitting and management
