Job Description

Earn up to $200,000 | Full-Scope Medical Optometry | Surgical Co-Management | North King County/South Snohomish, WA

Northwest Eye Surgeons is a well-established, multi-location ophthalmology group delivering advanced medical and surgical eye care across the Pacific Northwest. We're known for clinical excellence, fellowship-trained surgeons, and a genuinely collaborative MD/OD culture, and we're looking for an Optometrist ready to practice at the top of their license.

If you want more than routine exams, if you want to be a true clinical partner in cataract and glaucoma care, working shoulder-to-shoulder with subspecialty-trained ophthalmologists from diagnosis through post-op, this is that role.

Click here to see our culture, our physician leadership, our locations, and what it's really like to build a career with Northwest Eye Surgeons/Sight Partners.

You'll join our Washington team providing comprehensive medical eye care with an emphasis on cataract and glaucoma co-management. You'll work directly with our ophthalmologists in a true team-based model, not as a referral source, but as an integral part of the surgical care pathway. This role is built for optometrists who want complex, intellectually engaging cases and a career that grows alongside a respected surgical practice.

  • Earn up to $200,000 with a strong, transparent production model
  • Practice full-scope medical optometry in an active surgical setting, with no ceiling on your clinical growth
  • Work alongside subspecialty-trained ophthalmologists who value your expertise and treat you as a true clinical partner
  • Modern clinics, advanced diagnostics, the technology and tools to practice confidently
  • Excellent support staff so your time goes to patients, not paperwork
  • Ongoing CE, mentorship, and training to keep sharpening your skills

A life you'll love outside the clinic, one of Washington's most scenic and desirable regions, with easy access to Seattle, the Puget Sound, and the mountains

What You'll Do

  • Perform comprehensive medical eye exams
  • Provide pre- and post-operative cataract and glaucoma care
  • Co-manage patients within a true collaborative MD/OD model
  • Educate patients on diagnoses and treatment plans, building trust and long-term relationships
  • Document efficiently within our EMR
  • Participate in ongoing CE and professional development

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive base salary plus production incentives
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with employer contribution
  • Company-paid life insurance
  • Generous PTO and paid holidays
  • A supported path for long-term professional growth
