Position Key Accountabilities
We are looking for an individual to serve an integral role in our department, with important responsibilities including providing routine comprehensive care, refraction and contact lens fitting, screening and triaging patients with medical issues, assisting in management of patients with glaucoma and diabetic eye disease evaluations. Duties will also include working with our neurology and neuro-surgical services in the assessment of the visual status of patients with neurologic disease, for example those with pituitary tumors. The precise balance between comprehensive and medical management will in part be determined by need. This is a staff position, however, should academic potential be demonstrated, transitioning to an academic appointment may be considered.

The selected candidate for the position must have a degree in optometry and a Texas Medical License or be eligible for a Texas Temporary License.
