Optometrist Position

AVP•SEES Group, headquartered in Vienna, VA, is part of a strategic merger with Atlantic Vision Partners (AVP) and SEES Group (SEES), creating one of the largest eye care networks in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. With 80+ locations, the combined organization expands access to high-quality eye care and supports ongoing clinical innovation. Our Company partners with a broad referral network of community-based optometrists and physicians to provide medical and surgical eye care close to home. The organization also offers continuing education for providers and clinicians, supporting professional growth and best practices.

This Optometrist practices in a medically focused, referral-driven model and does not generally provide routine primary eye care. The role is designed for clinicians who function as trusted medical partners—both to ophthalmologists within the organization and to referring optometrists in the community.

This Optometrist manages a broad spectrum of medical eye disease and play a key role in pre- and post-operative care, delivering consistent, high-quality clinical judgment that referring physicians can rely on with confidence.

The position involves comprehensive medical eye care, including but not limited to:

• Pre-operative evaluation and counseling for cataract and refractive surgery
• Post-operative management of surgical patients
• Diagnosis and management of glaucoma, including longitudinal care and escalation when appropriate
• Management of ocular surface disease, including dry eye and inflammatory conditions
• Evaluation and treatment of common medical eye conditions encountered in a specialty practice setting

Clinical decision-making is emphasized, with an expectation of appropriate escalation, collaboration, and documentation that supports seamless shared care.

Optometrists in this role are expected to:

• Demonstrate strong training and sound clinical judgment
• Communicate effectively with patients, surgeons, and referring providers
• Function independently while collaborating closely within a multidisciplinary care team
• Uphold high standards of professionalism, ethics, and patient advocacy

The optometrist serves as both a clinician and an ambassador for collaborative care within the region.

The ideal optometrist for this position:

• Is medically focused and comfortable managing complex eye disease
• Values collaboration and long-term professional relationships
• Is respected by peers for judgment, communication, and integrity
• Seeks a role centered on medical care, not retail or primary eye care
• Is motivated to contribute to the growth, reputation, and clinical excellence of the practice

Qualifications:

• Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree from an accredited institution and current, unrestricted optometry license (or eligibility for licensure) in the state of Tennessee.
• Proficiency in comprehensive eye examinations, refraction, contact lens fitting, and management of common ocular conditions and diseases.
• Experience or strong interest in medical optometry and co-management of surgical cases (e.g., cataract, refractive, glaucoma, retina) is highly preferred.
• Strong patient communication skills, with the ability to explain diagnoses, treatment plans, and preventive care in clear, accessible language.
• Comfort using electronic health records and diagnostic technologies (e.g., OCT, visual fields, fundus photography, topography).
• Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary clinical team and with referring community providers.
• Commitment to evidence-based clinical practice, continuous learning, and participation in continuing education.
• Ability to work on-site full-time in Nashville, TN, with flexibility to support patient scheduling needs as required by the practice.
• Prior experience in a medical or surgical eye care setting is a plus, but new graduates with strong clinical training are encouraged to apply.
