What is a consultant optometrist?

Consultant Optometrists are highly specialized eye care professionals who have advanced clinical expertise and often work in hospital eye services or specialist clinics. They are responsible for diagnosing and managing complex eye conditions, supervising other optometrists, and sometimes conducting research or teaching. In addition to routine eye examinations, Consultant Optometrists may be involved in developing clinical guidelines and collaborating with ophthalmologists and other healthcare professionals to provide the best patient care.

How does a consultant optometrist typically collaborate with other healthcare professionals within a clinical setting?

Consultant Optometrists frequently work closely with ophthalmologists, general practitioners, and other allied health professionals to ensure comprehensive patient care. Collaboration often involves shared patient management, referral discussions, and participation in multidisciplinary team meetings. This teamwork helps streamline the diagnosis and treatment of complex ocular conditions, and provides opportunities to learn from other specialties. Effective communication and a collaborative approach are essential for delivering high-quality eye care and improving patient outcomes.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a consultant optometrist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Consultant Optometrist, you need advanced clinical expertise in eye care, a degree in optometry, and registration with a professional regulatory body such as the General Optical Council. Familiarity with diagnostic instruments (like OCT and fundus cameras), electronic health record systems, and possibly further certifications in specialist areas is essential. Strong interpersonal skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate complex information clearly are crucial soft skills. These competencies ensure accurate diagnosis, effective patient management, and high-quality care in a clinical setting.

Consulting Optometrist - Scleral Lens Specialist

Job description

Company: TECLens, Inc.

Location: Stamford, CT (hybrid; on-site as needed)

Type: Consulting / part-time, ad hoc — with potential to grow

Compensation: Competitive hourly / day-rate consulting fee, commensurate with experience

About Us

TECLens is a clinical-stage ophthalmic medical device company based in Stamford, CT, developing a next-generation corneal crosslinking platform. Our system uses a scleral lens–based delivery approach to administer controlled UV‑A treatment to the cornea, with real‑time monitoring for a precise, reproducible refractive correction procedure. We are currently advancing the technology through active clinical trials in Manila, Rio de Janeiro, and Santo Domingo. A large US trial will start in 2027.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a practicing (or recently practicing) optometrist with deep, hands‑on scleral lens expertise to serve as a clinical consultant. This is a flexible, low‑commitment engagement to start — a few hours here and there to advise our team, fit scleral lens to volunteers, review protocols, and lend clinical perspective as we refine our platform.

Over time as the clinical program scales, the role has the potential to expand into a paid training function — traveling to our clinical sites (domestic and international) to train investigators and site staff on scleral lens fitting, handling, and best practices tied to our device.

If you’re a scleral lens enthusiast who enjoys teaching and wants meaningful, intermittent involvement with an innovative med‑tech program without giving up your practice, this is a strong fit.

What You’ll Do

Near‑term (ad hoc, a few hours as needed):

  • Provide expert input on scleral lens selection, execute fittings on volunteer, and in general provide guidance on lens application
  • Create and review clinical materials, fitting guides, and training documentation with an eye (sorry!) toward creation of a training curriculum
  • Advise the engineering, clinical, and product teams on real‑world clinical and patient‑handling considerations
  • Serve as a sounding board on questions that arise during device development and study execution

Down the road (as the program grows):

  • Travel to U.S. and international clinical sites (current international sites are in Latin America and Asia) to train and certify site staff on scleral lens fitting and device use
  • Help develop and standardize training curricula and competency assessments across sites
  • Support site readiness and act as a clinical resource during study startup
What We’re Looking For
  • Doctor of Optometry (OD), licensed and in good standing
  • Extensive scleral lens experience — routine fitting across a range of indications, including irregular corneas (e.g., keratoconus, post‑surgical, ocular surface disease)
  • Strong command of scleral lens design parameters, sag/vault management, landing zone, and troubleshooting (fogging, settling, edge lift, over‑refraction)
  • Comfort teaching and explaining techniques to other clinicians and staff
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, roll‑up‑your‑sleeves attitude
  • Local to the Stamford, Connecticut area for occasional in‑person work
Nice to Have
  • Prior experience in clinical trials, medical device development, or industry consulting
  • Experience training or mentoring other practitioners
  • Willingness and availability to travel internationally as the role expands
  • Familiarity with corneal crosslinking or corneal biomechanics
  • Additional languages a plus (Spanish and/or Portuguese especially useful given our sites)
Commitment & Logistics
  • Flexible and light to start — engagements scheduled around your availability, typically a couple of hours at a time
  • Primarily remote/consultative in the near term, with occasional on‑site work in Stamford
  • Travel is not required initially; future travel would be planned well in advance, fully expensed, and separately compensated
