Vision Source Jobs

Vision Source is a prominent network of independent optometric practices dedicated to preserving the heritage of private eye care in the United States. Established in 1991 by Dr. Glenn Ellisor, the organization has grown to encompass over 3,100 locally owned practices across all 50 states. It is the largest network of private practice optometrists in North America.

In 2015, Vision Source was acquired by Essilor International, a global leader in ophthalmic optics. This acquisition enhanced its capabilities and resources.

It enabled Vision Source to provide its members with access to cutting-edge technologies, comprehensive practice management tools, and extensive marketing support.

The organization operates on a franchisor-franchisee model, where each member practice remains independently owned and operated. Members benefit from managed care strategies, cost savings through collective buying power, professional development programs, and strategic marketing initiatives.

These resources support optometrists in delivering exceptional patient care while achieving business success.
