Ophthalmic device sales recruiting

We recruit ophthalmic sales reps for surgical, diagnostic and contact lens portfolios selling to ophthalmologists, optometrists and surgery centres.

About ophthalmic sales

Ophthalmic sales spans surgical products for cataract and refractive procedures, diagnostic imaging, and products sold through optometry practices. Many customers are private clinics and surgery centres where the physician is also the business owner.

That makes business acumen as important as clinical knowledge. We look for reps who can sell value to a practice owner and support surgical staff with confidence.

Who they sell to: Ophthalmologists, optometrists, private eye clinics and surgery centres, hospital eye departments.

What we look for

  • Experience selling to private practices and owner-operators.
  • Surgical case support for cataract or refractive procedures, where relevant.
  • Understanding of practice economics and patient-pay products.
  • Comfort selling equipment, consumables or both.

What makes these hires hard

  • Practice owners buy differently from hospitals; hospital-only reps may need to adapt.
  • Territories are clustered around a limited number of high-volume surgical centres.
  • The experienced candidate pool is small and well networked.
