Our full scope optometric practice has an opportunity for 2 enthusiastic optometrists on a full-time basis (5 days a week). We are a well-established practice in Yorkton and area. The practice was originally started in the 1930s and has consisted of 3 practitioners for the last 33+ years. Dr. G. A. Sheasby retired in 2018. Dr. K. L. Caines is wanting to retire as soon as a new associate joins our practice.
In addition to 5 fully equipped exam lanes, office examination equipment includes an Optomap (California model), Topcon OCT, Octopus 900 perimeter, Nidek auto K-R, FDT visual field screening, Tonometry (NCT, Goldmann, Perkins, and Tonopen), Nidek RT-5100 Refractor (1 lane), and auto Lensometry.
Our office utilizes the Optosys Electronic Medical Records software for all optometric office procedures including billing and reconciliation, appointment scheduling, examinations, ordering of eye wear and contact lenses, and recall/appointment reminders. We currently have over 20 000 active files. We presently employ 8 full time staff including an office manager. CCOA staff perform pre-testing on all patients. Very good rapport with local physicians, and ophthalmologists in Regina and Saskatoon. A great opportunity for an optometrist interested in diagnosing and managing ocular pathology (cataracts, glaucoma, diabetes, AMD, Dry Eye, etc.) as there is not a local ophthalmologist. Our dispensary has 1500+ frames on display with an edging lab on site. We stock a significant inventory of blank single vision lenses for edging (1-hour service) as well as numerous contact lenses (daily and monthly). Rendia patient information system runs throughout the office (exam lanes and patient waiting areas).

Remuneration is negotiable, i.e. salary or based on income generated. We are offering 2 options for remuneration:
- A 1 – year contract at a salary of $120 000.00 based on performing a minimum of 9 full examinations/day with 5 weeks of holidays. Salary will be increased if performing a minimum of 11 full examinations/day.
- A 1 – year contract at 25% of your gross paid billings. We are very confident that this would be the preferred choice of a new associate as it presents the new associate with the opportunity to make a greater income.
