Description
Southern California Eye Institute (SCEI) | Los Angeles, California Partnership Track Visa Sponsorship Available Southern California Eye Institute is seeking a fellowship-trained, Board-Certified or Board-Eligible Glaucoma Specialist to join our physician-led, multi-specialty ophthalmology practice. This role comes with an established referral network and a busy surgical practice from day one, with no panel-building from scratch. Whether you’re finishing fellowship or are an experienced glaucoma surgeon making your next move, you’ll step into a partnership-track position that offers the autonomy of private practice alongside the collegiality and research opportunities usually found in academics.
Partnership track. This is a path to practice ownership, not an indefinite employed role.
Visa sponsorship. We sponsor qualified candidates, including J-1 waiver and H-1B.
An established surgical practice waiting for you. A standing referral network across optometry and comprehensive ophthalmology feeds consistent surgical and clinic volume from your first weeks. Mentorship for new grads. Senior glaucoma surgeons are available for surgical consultation and case support, so graduating fellows are well supported rather than left to sink or swim. A true multi-specialty group. In-house glaucoma, retina, cornea, oculoplastics, comprehensive ophthalmology, and optometry mean complex patients stay in-house and referrals flow both ways. Active clinical research. Opportunities to serve as an investigator on multicenter trials evaluating novel glaucoma therapeutics and next-generation surgical devices. A complete glaucoma technology suite. Operate with the full toolkit from day one: Zeiss Cirrus OCT, the Humphrey Field Analyzer 3 for perimetry, the full MIGS armamentarium (iStent inject W, Hydrus Microstent, XEN Gel Stent, OMNI Surgical System, and Kahook Dual Blade), and SLT and YAG laser platforms.
Multiple Southern California locations, with your main practice base in Los Angeles at 1300 N Vermont Avenue.
Dedicated clinical, imaging, and surgical support teams. Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits.
The best of private practice and academic medicine: You get a high-volume surgical practice with the autonomy, efficiency, and patient focus of an independent physician-led group, plus the teaching, research, and professional development usually tied to academic settings. If you enjoy mentoring, clinical investigation, and adopting emerging technology, you’ll have room to do all three.
