About this position
*Practice great optometry care without practicing at high volume.*Edge Optics is looking for an Optometrist to join our independent, family-owned practice in the heart of downtown Fort Collins, Colorado.
Our model is intentionally patient-first: approximately 16–20 patients per day, 30-minute exams, advanced clinical technology, significant pre-testing support, and the autonomy to practice thoughtfully.
*The Opportunity*
This is an opportunity to join an established practice with a loyal patient base, strong community presence, and a distinctly independent culture.
The position is primarily 3–4 days per week, with flexibility to discuss five days. Two Saturdays/month is expected.
At Edge, a strong team supports doctors by completing much of the pre-testing and assisting with referrals and administrative details, so the OD can spend more of the day focused on patients.
Our doctors have access to advanced diagnostic and treatment technology, including:
* OCT
* advanced retinal imaging
* dry-eye diagnostics
* IPL/RF treatments
* Comprehensive pre-testing support
*Why Edge Optics?*
Edge Optics was built around a simple idea: high-quality eye care should still feel personal.
Our mission is to offer exceptional medical care and thoughtfully selected eyewear in an atmosphere rooted in friendliness, community, respect, and a patient-first mentality.
We stay at the forefront of technology while equally emphasizing patient education and preventive eye care.
Our approach extends beyond the exam room. We choose independent eyewear brands that prioritize craftsmanship, innovation, environmental responsibility, family businesses, or meaningful charitable impact.
Community involvement is also part of who we are, not simply something we sponsor. Edge has a long-standing program providing eye care and eyewear to members of the local homeless community and actively supports Northern Colorado nonprofits, events, and sports organizations.
