About us Eye Guys Alaska is a mobile optometry practice bringing full-scope eye care to 60+ rural and bush communities across Alaska, plus a home office in Wasilla. We fly in, set up, and serve villages that often have no other access to eye care. It's hands-on, high-impact, and it's our favorite way to practice — but it isn't for everyone, and that's okay. The role You'll travel on scheduled trips (we build them around your availability) seeing walk-in patients — typically ~15/day with 30-minute appointments. You practice to the extent you're comfortable. Each trip pairs a doctor with an optician, so you're never out there alone.

Southeast / road trips:

hotels and places to eat along the way.

Rural bush trips:

more rugged — sometimes cots and sleeping bags in schools or community centers. Every village has its own flavor.

Wasilla office:

in-town clinic days also available. We introduce new doctors with a road trip first, then plan trip-by-trip once we know it's a good fit. What we cover Flights and lodging for travel trips — provided. What you bring Doctor of Optometry (OD), licensed in Alaska — or willing and able to obtain licensure. Your own malpractice insurance (1099 contractor). A sense of adventure and comfort with variable, real-world clinic settings. Why doctors love it You'll see parts of Alaska most people never reach, practice full-scope, and do work that genuinely matters to the communities you serve. New and experienced ODs both thrive here.
