Optometrist in Nanaimo BC

Looking to hire an Optometrist to work in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, BC where your exams do more than check vision. Our client has built a different kind of practice where functional vision care is part of every primary eye exam. Our patients often come in with symptoms like headaches, screen fatigue, dizziness, or reading struggles. Many don’t need vision therapy, they just need a more customized, thoughtful prescription that helps them feel and function better.

What You’ll Be Doing:
- Deliver full-scope primary eye care, with integrated functional vision assessments
- Learn to recognize visual performance issues like binocular vision dysfunction or eye tracking problems
- Prescribe advanced lenses (including prism) to improve patient outcomes
- Collaborate regularly with our clinical team and tap into mentorship from our Victoria location

What We’re Offering:
- Competitive compensation (percentage of gross) - currently our clinic is at 50% capacity and they are paying out approximately $15-20K/mth, this can only grow once the clinic is running at full capacity.
- In-depth training and mentorship in functional prescribing.
- Supportive, passionate clinical team.
- Future partnership opportunities for the right person.

We Might Be a Fit If:
- You’re licensed (or eligible) to practice in BC.
- We would consider someone who is just starting their career or even a seasoned professional.
- You care deeply about your patients’ wellbeing and want to go beyond standard care.
- You’re curious, collaborative, and driven to learn.

Why This Role Matters:
Our approach helps children/adults learn better, reduces headaches, and help people regain balance and confidence. It’s work that changes lives and challenges you to keep growing.

If you’re looking for more purpose in your work and a team that values curiosity and connection, we’d love to hear from you. There is something special about Vancouver Island, it isn’t just a place to work, it’s a lifestyle. From coastal walks and endless outdoor recreation to a strong sense of community, it’s a place people come to and never want to leave.
