The team is well experienced and has been established for many years, with an average tenure of 10-15 years. We have 4 qualified DOs, including the Practice Manager, 2 resident CLOs, and 2 resident Optoms. Recently, we underwent a refit, and customers are loving the modern and fresh look, which complements our in-store services. Dry eye management is increasingly prominent, with CLOs running two clinics per week. We also utilize Optomap and OCT to enhance the clinical experience. This is a fantastic opportunity for those looking to grow their career or expand their scope of practice. Bedford is an excellent place to do so!
