About CLAYE Vision & Surgery
At Claye, we are redefining the patient journey by blending world-class clinical precision with unreasonable hospitality. We believe that exceptional care isn't just about advanced technology and surgical expertise—it is about how a patient feels from the moment they first connect with us. We go above and beyond the standard medical factory model to create an environment of deliberate care, warmth, and anticipation. We are looking for a dedicated, multi-faceted Optometrist to join our clinical team and act as a champion of this elevated patient experience.
The Role
This is a unique, patient-first clinical role where comprehensive eye care meets uncompromising service. As an Associate Optometrist, you will deliver exceptional clinical care while ensuring every patient feels deeply heard, valued, and looked after.
You will lead comprehensive eye examinations, collaborate closely with our ophthalmology team on shared patient pathways, and guide patients through their vision health journey with clarity, empathy, and grace. You won't just diagnose; you will educate, reassure, and elevate the standard of what a patient expects from an eye care visit.
Key Responsibilities
- Clinical Excellence & Comprehensive Care
- Thorough Examinations: Conduct comprehensive eye health assessments, refractive evaluations, and binocular vision assessments with clinical precision.
- Medical Optometry: Diagnose, manage, and treat ocular disease, and seamlessly coordinate integrated care plans alongside our surgeons and clinical specialists.
- Patient Education: Explain complex clinical findings and treatment plans in a simple, reassuring, and engaging way, ensuring patients are empowered partners in their vision care.
- Personalized Prescribing: Tailor optical and medical recommendations to suit each individual patient's lifestyle, occupational needs, and visual goals.
- Unreasonable Hospitality & Patient Experience
- The Human Connection: Cultivate a calm, premium, and unhurried environment, ensuring patients feel genuinely cared for from the examination chair to check-out.
- Anticipatory Service: Anticipate patient concerns and questions before they are asked, alleviating any medical anxiety with warmth and poise.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with our surgeons, technicians, and optical team to ensure a seamless, unified approach to each patient's comprehensive care plan.
- Practice Advocacy: Act as a cultural ambassador for Claye, championing our mission to move away from the high-volume medical factory model toward thoughtful, deliberate care.

- A Master Communicator: You possess a warm, professional demeanor, excellent active listening skills, and the ability to connect authentically with a diverse community.
- Obsessed with Service: You view the eye exam not just as a clinical test, but as an opportunity to build trust, provide clarity, and deliver an unforgettable patient experience.
- Detail-Oriented & Precise: You take pride in clinical accuracy, thorough documentation, and maintaining a pristine, organized exam space.
- A Collaborative Team Player: You thrive in a multidisciplinary environment where cross-functional support between optometry, surgery, and optics is the norm.
