Optometrist

Fifth State Vision Care
Farmington, CT, United States

Company Description

At our practice, we believe that the optometrist is the hero of primary eye care, enabling and safeguarding their patient’s ability to experience his or her best vision.

For many people, an optometrist is also the first point of contact into the healthcare system. The eyes can offer a window into overall health, and thus this first touch point can be critical for patients getting the care they need for serious conditions.

We don’t take that responsibility lightly, which is why we empower our optometrists to provide the highest quality of care.

Plus, on select Saturdays, we now pay a base rate of one thousand dollars per day!
