What does a part-time optometrist do?

A part-time optometrist is a licensed healthcare professional who examines eyes, diagnoses vision problems, and prescribes corrective lenses or treatment, but works fewer hours than a full-time optometrist. They may work in private practices, retail optical stores, clinics, or healthcare facilities, often covering specific days or shifts. Their duties include conducting eye exams, detecting eye diseases, providing vision therapy, and educating patients about eye care. Working part-time can offer flexibility for work-life balance or additional commitments.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a part-time optometrist?

To thrive as a Part Time Optometrist, you need a Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree, a valid state license, and strong knowledge of vision care and ocular health. Familiarity with diagnostic tools such as phoropters, autorefractors, and electronic health record (EHR) systems is typically required. Excellent interpersonal skills, attention to detail, and efficient time management help optometrists deliver quality care and build patient trust in a limited schedule. These skills and qualifications are essential for providing accurate diagnoses, effective treatment, and a positive patient experience while balancing part-time responsibilities.

How do part-time optometrists typically collaborate with other healthcare professionals and staff within an eye care practice?

Part-time optometrists often work closely with ophthalmic technicians, receptionists, and other optometrists to ensure seamless patient care, even when their hours are limited. Communication is key—they may coordinate with staff to manage patient scheduling, share updates on ongoing cases, and relay important findings to referring physicians or specialists. This collaborative environment helps maintain continuity of care for patients and allows part-time optometrists to contribute meaningfully to the overall success of the practice.

Job description

Part-Time Optometrist (OD) – Wichita, Kansas

Schedule: 4–7 weekdays per month (Monday and/or Friday preferred)

Compensation: $900 per day/visit

Position Type: Independent Contractor (1099)

About the Opportunity

Comprehensive Mobile Care (CMC) is seeking a Part-Time Optometrist to provide high-quality vision care within a structured, outpatient clinic-based environment in Wichita, Kansas. This role allows you to practice meaningful, mission-driven care without the administrative burden of running your own practice.

You'll serve as an integrated member of a coordinated clinical team supporting senior populations in a predictable, organized setting.

The Setting

This opportunity operates within a community-based outpatient clinic model designed for consistency and support:

  • Full-time clinic staff on-site

  • Collaborative, team-based care environment

  • Value-based model focused on seniors

  • All equipment, supplies, scheduling, and billing handled by CMC

What You'll Do

  • Perform comprehensive eye exams and vision assessments

  • Diagnose and manage common ocular conditions within your scope

  • Prescribe corrective lenses and provide treatment recommendations

  • Partner with clinic staff as part of an integrated care team

  • Deliver patient-centered care in a structured outpatient environment

What Makes This Role Different

This is not a high-volume retail model. CMC optometrists are embedded within established clinic environments and represent our organization directly at each partner location.

We prioritize:

  • Quality over volume

  • Predictable scheduling

  • Strong administrative and logistical support

  • Long-term clinic partnerships

  • Ethical, mission-driven care delivery

Qualifications

  • Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree from an accredited program

  • Active Kansas optometry license

  • Experience with senior populations preferred

  • Strong clinical judgment and communication skills

  • Comfortable practicing in outpatient clinic settings

Schedule & Logistics

  • 4–7 weekdays per month (Monday and/or Friday preferred)

  • Typical hours: 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM

  • No nights

  • No weekends

  • No billing or administrative responsibilities
