Optometrist Jobs in Massachusetts

An Optometrist is a key professional in the optometry field, responsible for diagnosing and treating visual disorders and ailments.

Optometrists are also equipped to prescribe corrective lenses or spectacles and provide advice on proper eye health management.

Prior to becoming an Optometrist, a person may have roles such as an Optometric Technician, Optician, or Vision Therapist to gain practical experience and knowledge in the field.
