Job description

Experienced Comprehensive Ophthalmologist / Cataract Surgeon

South Florida Eye Institute is seeking a seasoned, high-volume comprehensive ophthalmologist and cataract surgeon to join our established practice in Southeast Florida. The successful candidate must be capable of independently assuming a busy clinical and surgical schedule from the outset.


Required Qualifications and Experience

  • Board-certified ophthalmologist
  • At least eight years of post-training clinical and surgical experience
  • Demonstrated success managing a high-volume patient and surgical caseload
  • Advanced cataract surgery expertise, including complex and femtosecond laser-assisted cataract procedures
  • Experience performing minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS)
  • Experience performing blepharoplasty, particularly functional upper-eyelid procedures
  • Strong comprehensive ophthalmology skills and sound clinical judgment
  • Consistently strong surgical outcomes and patient-satisfaction history
  • Excellent communication, professionalism, and ability to collaborate with clinical staff
  • Bilingual - English and Spanish

Medical retina experience is highly preferred but not required. Experience with premium IOLs, refractive cataract surgery, and cosmetic blepharoplasty is also desirable.


Position Highlights

  • Established practice with a substantial existing patient base
  • Immediate clinical and surgical volume
  • Advanced cataract and ophthalmic technology
  • Experienced technicians, clinical staff, and administrative support
  • Competitive compensation of $400,000–$500,000, depending on experience and qualifications

This is a senior-level opportunity for an experienced surgeon with the efficiency, versatility, and clinical confidence to assume significant responsibility immediately. It is not an entry-level position.

Qualified candidates should submit a CV and information regarding annual cataract volume, femtosecond laser and MIGS experience, blepharoplasty experience, medical retina capabilities, and recent surgical outcomes.
