An opportunity to become an independent clinic owner
As the largest optometrist-led organization, we believe everyone should benefit from the very best vision to improve their quality of life. Our optometry partners come to us from all kinds of backgrounds. Some were associates ready to make the leap to clinic ownership for the first time, while others already had businesses of their own. The great thing about our partnerships is flexibility – it doesn’t really matter how you’re starting out with us, we can find a way to make it work.
