About the Role

We are seeking compassionate, mission-driven optometrists who want to make a tangible impact on children’s lives. As part of a mobile clinical team, you’ll provide high-quality eye exams and help deliver glasses to students in underserved communities—removing vision barriers that affect learning and long-term opportunities. If you’re motivated by service, inspired by teamwork, and excited to practice optometry in a meaningful, community-focused setting, we offer a rewarding way to use your skills to change lives.

About the Practice

We are the largest school-based vision care nonprofit in the country. We exist to address one basic premise—if you can’t see, you can’t learn. We provide eye exams and glasses to students in underserved communities at no cost to the students and their families to help them succeed in school and in life. Founded in Los Angeles in 2012, we have since expanded to schools across the country.

Vision care is critical, as 80% of all learning during a child’s first 12 years is visual. We work to solve the problem of lack of access by partnering with school districts to provide eye exams and glasses at no charge to families. We have provided over 3.6 million vision screenings, 730,000 eye exams, and 600,000 new, prescription glasses in the last decade.

Join us and make a direct impact in your community by helping provide vision services to school-aged children in underserved communities who would otherwise go without access to care.
