Richmond, Virginia | Glaucoma Surgeon Partnership Opportunity. Inherit volume from retiring physician.

Partnership Track | ASC | Private Practice

An outstanding opportunity is available for a BC/BE, fellowship-trained Glaucoma Surgeon to join one of Virginia’s largest and most respected physician-owned, multi-specialty ophthalmology groups in Richmond.

This is an especially attractive opportunity because you will be replacing a retiring glaucoma specialist and stepping into a busy, mature practice with an established patient base and strong internal referrals. Rather than building a glaucoma practice from the ground up, you’ll have the opportunity to be busy from the start.

Surgeons have access to the practice’s 6-operating-room ASC, performing more than 10,000 cases annually.

The practice is committed to providing its physicians with excellent clinical and surgical support, including modern diagnostic, laser and surgical technology and an experienced technical and administrative team.

Partnership Opportunity

This is a long-term career and partnership opportunity, not simply an employed position.

The practice has a well-defined track to partnership for physicians who demonstrate excellent clinical outcomes, high patient satisfaction and strong citizenship within the group.

For the right physician looking for a busy glaucoma practice, ownership potential and a collaborative private-practice environment, this is an exceptional opportunity.

When Urgency Changes the Way We Evaluate Candidates
Every eye care practice eventually reaches a point where the need for another provider becomes urgent.

It may be an ophthalmologist.

It may be an optometrist.

Regardless, the pressure feels the same.

Schedules are full. Doctors are overworked. Staff members are stretched thin. Patients are waiting longer than anyone would like. Retiring doctors want to wind down, not up. Referring doctors begin sending patients elsewhere. Everyone feels the pressure to find help.

And that’s exactly when practices become vulnerable to making one of the most expensive hiring mistakes they’ll ever make.

Not because they intentionally lower their standards.

Because urgency quietly changes the way they evaluate candidates. Things they once viewed as concerns suddenly become acceptable.

Desperation has a way of turning red flags into yellow flags.

The more urgent the hiring need becomes, the easier it is to explain away concerns you wouldn’t normally ignore.

It rarely happens all at once.

Instead, it sounds something like this:

“Yes, communication wasn’t great…but we can work on that.”

“I’m not sure they’re the best personality fit…but we desperately need another provider.”

“The partners weren’t completely convinced…but this candidate can start in two months.”

Before long, the practice isn’t hiring the candidate they believe is the best long-term fit.

They’re hiring the candidate who solves today’s staffing problem the fastest.

Over the years, I’ve seen practices hire both ophthalmologists and optometrists despite having reservations during the interview process. Not because they believed the candidate was the best long-term fit, but because they desperately needed another provider.

Sometimes those hires work out.

But when the reservations that surfaced during the interview were genuine, they rarely disappear after the doctor starts.

They become everyday realities.

Communication issues.

Personality conflicts.

Different expectations.

Frustrated partners.

Frustrated staff.

Eventually, the practice and the doctor realize the relationship isn’t what either side had hoped it would be.

Sometimes the physician resigns.

Sometimes the practice decides it’s time to move in a different direction.

Either way, everyone ends up back where they started.

The practice has lost valuable time, invested thousands of dollars in recruiting and onboarding, and now faces another provider vacancy. The doctor has uprooted their career—and often their family—only to begin another job search.

This doesn’t mean every candidate has to be perfect.

No doctor is.

Every physician and optometrist has strengths, areas for growth, and different personality traits.

But there’s a big difference between hiring someone who isn’t perfect and hiring someone you’re already trying to convince yourself is the right fit.

If you’re explaining away concerns that genuinely matter to your practice simply because the candidate can start sooner, it’s worth asking yourself one simple question:

Am I hiring this doctor because I believe they’re the right fit…or because I need someone now?

Those are two very different reasons for making one of the most important decisions your practice will make.

The irony is that waiting a few more months for the right provider is often far less costly than hiring the wrong one and starting the recruiting process all over again a year later.

At OjO Recruitment Agency, our goal has never been to simply fill an opening. It’s to help practices build teams that are still thriving years from now.

Sometimes that means encouraging a practice to move quickly.

Sometimes it means encouraging them to wait.

When you’re desperate, the greatest risk isn’t that you won’t find a doctor. It’s that you’ll convince yourself the wrong doctor is the right one.

Reach out to us anytime.
Hiring a provider is one of the most important decisions your practice will make. If you’d like an objective perspective on a candidate—or simply want to talk through your hiring strategy—we’d be glad to help. There’s never any obligation, just an honest conversation. Email us at [email protected]

General / Comprehensive: $280,000 to $325,000
Glaucoma: $290,000 to $350,000
Cornea: $290,000 to $330,000

Pediatric Ophthalmology: $250,000 to $300,000
Oculoplastics: $280,000 to $325,000
These ranges reflect what we see in roughly 80–85% of offers across private practices, private equity-backed groups, and health systems.

There are certainly offers above these numbers—and occasionally below—but this gives you a reliable, real-world baseline.

How to Find the Right Optometry Job (Not Just Any Job). AKA “Cheez-Its & Choices.” - OjO Recruitment Agency

If you’re an optometry student—or just beginning to navigate your early career as an OD—I want to start with something encouraging: You are in high demand.

Over the last several years, we’ve seen a surge in OD recruitment. In many parts of the country, there are far more patient chairs than there are doctors to fill them. Between private practices, corporate settings, and MD/OD clinics, the opportunities are endless.

In this climate, finding a job isn’t the challenge. But finding the right optometry position? That requires a different kind of clinical focus. It takes intention, and frankly, it’s worth the extra chair time to get it right.

The “Cheez-It” Problem: Navigating a Sea of Job Options

While many college graduates are facing a tough market, the challenge for new grad optometrists is often the opposite: Options Overload.

I recently had an experience in San Diego during an ophthalmology conference that illustrated this perfectly. I popped into a supermarket for snacks and found myself staring at a wall of Cheez-Its. There were 30 different types. Original, White Cheddar, Extra Toasty… I stood there, paralyzed by the volume of options. This sea of endless options did not make my choice easier!

That is exactly what I hear from the young doctors I talk to. With so many optometry job boards and recruiters reaching out, the search becomes a blur. You start asking yourself the same question you ask your patients: “Which is better… One or Two? One… or Two?” But unlike a refraction, a job search doesn’t have a single “right” answer. Something can look 20/20 at first glance until you slow down and look closer at the practice culture.

Why You Chose the Doctor of Optometry Path

In my 17 years of optometry career coaching, I’ve found that most doctors enter this field for three reasons:

Patient-Centered Care: A desire for meaningful work.
Impact: Making a tangible difference in vision and health.
Work-Life Balance: A profession that allows for a full life outside the clinic.
Here is the “professorial” truth: Those outcomes aren’t guaranteed by your degree. They are a product of the practice environment you choose.

How to Evaluate Optometry Job Opportunities

When comparing private practice vs. corporate optometry or looking at different OD salary structures, it’s easy to focus on the numbers. But a great fit is about alignment. As you look at optometrist openings, ask these grounding questions:

Mentorship: Will I be supported by an experienced OD, or am I on an island?
Patient Flow: Is the schedule managed to allow for quality care, or is it high-volume only?
Clinical Scope: Does this practice allow me to use my full training (medical, specialty lens, etc.)?
Transparency: Is the compensation structure (base salary vs. production) clear and realistic?
Solving the Professional Rubik’s Cube

We don’t just choose jobs; we choose lives. Whether you realize it or not, you are trying to solve a professional Rubik’s cube involving:

Belonging: Do I fit in with this team?
Meaning: Does this practice value the same “currency” I do (like that patient who says, “You’re the first doctor who truly listened”).
Agency: Do I have the clinical autonomy to practice the way I was trained?
Security: Does this offer provide the benefits and stability I need to build my future?
Partnering with an Optometry Recruitment Agency

At OjO Recruitment, our goal isn’t just to “fill a hole” in a practice. We believe your job search process should be clear, not confusing. We focus on the whole person, helping you ask the right questions and find a path that fits who you are becoming as a doctor.

No Pressure. Just a Conversation. Even if you aren’t actively looking, it’s never too early to start a dialogue. We offer free, confidential career perspective for students and residents.

Let’s find your “One.”
