Job Title:
On-Call Optometrist – Urgent Eyecare (Flexible, 1 day/week Minimum)
Company:
Urgent Eyecare
Job Type:
Contract / Per Diem
Location: Multiple (TX, FL, CA – see below)
Schedule: 7-on / 7-off preferred | Minimum 1 on-call day/week required
About Us:
Urgent Eyecare is the first after-hours, appointment-based urgent care model designed exclusively for eye emergencies. When traditional clinics close, patients with true ocular emergencies often turn to ERs or general urgent cares — where they’re either misdiagnosed, delayed, or turned away.
We exist to bridge that gap and deliver immediate, expert-level care directly to the people who need it most — from licensed optometrists, on their terms.
We’re currently expanding our team of on-call optometrists in:
- Dallas, TX
- Allen, TX
- Houston, TX (coming soon)
- The Villages, FL (Just Launched!)
- San Diego, CA (Coming Soon)
What You'll Do:
- Serve as the on-call OD for urgent eye care cases during your designated days or week(s)
- Receive patient details from our in-house triage team (pre-paid, pre-screened)
- Meet patients at the partner location to provide urgent care
- Perform necessary testing and treatment (foreign body removal, red eye evals, retinal checks, etc.)
- Complete simple digital documentation after each visit
What We Offer:
- Flexible scheduling – you choose your on-call days/weeks
- Pre-paid patients only – no insurance billing or front desk hassle
- Minimal admin burden – you show up, provide care, and document
- Mission-driven work – fill a critical care gap and get patients the help they need
- Supportive, innovative team – we’re ODs ourselves and built this to work for you
What We Require:
- Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree and active state license
- Comfort with urgent care procedures (foreign body removal, dilation, red eyes, etc.)
- Willingness to manage your own testing and care (you are the sole provider on site)
- Reliable transportation to meet patients as needed
- Minimum commitment of one 1 on-call day per week. Preferred 1 on-call week/month (this is the best ROI)
This is a great fit for:
- ODs looking to supplement income or work part-time
- Doctors in career transition or early retirement
- Passionate, independent providers looking to make an impact outside of traditional hours
- Doctors who want out of the status quo
