Optometrist - Full-Time / Part-Time

Dr. Snipes & Associates
Louisville & Lexington, Kentucky

We are seeking personable, dependable, and patient-focused Optometrists interested in full-time, part-time, or flexible opportunities within our growing practice.
The Opportunity

Our goal is to give our doctors the resources and support they need to provide excellent patient care while allowing them to practice optometry.

Our ODs provide comprehensive primary eye care with opportunities to diagnose and manage medical conditions within the full scope of optometric practice.

Depending on the needs and interests of the doctor, patient care may include:

• Comprehensive eye examinations
• Routine and medical eye care
• Contact lens examinations and fittings
• Specialty contact lens fitting, including scleral and hybrid lenses
• Dry eye evaluation and management
• Glaucoma evaluation and management
• Myopia management, including MiSight, Ortho-K, and atropine
• Cataract and retinal evaluations and appropriate referral/co-management
• Emergency and problem-focused eye care
• Punctal plug procedures
• Human amniotic membrane allograft treatment
• Appropriate referral and co-management with ophthalmology and other specialists

Our doctors maintain clinical autonomy and are expected to use their professional judgment to determine the most appropriate care for each patient.
Technology & Diagnostic Equipment

We believe our doctors should have access to technology that supports high-quality patient care.

Our practices utilize advanced diagnostic equipment, including:

• Essilor digital examination equipment
• Optos Daytona retinal imaging
• OCT
• 30-point automated visual field testing
• RETeval ERG testing

We routinely incorporate advanced imaging and diagnostic testing when clinically appropriate and encourage our doctors to fully utilize the resources available to them.

If there is something our doctors need to provide appropriate patient care that we do not currently have available, we are always willing to explore ways to provide the resources necessary for their success.
