WHO WE ARE

Opternative, the leader in the digital eye care, is seeking a Staff Accountant with an entrepreneurial spirit and an enthusiasm for healthcare innovation.

Since launch, Opternative has developed and validated the technology, successfully filed patents, initialized commercialization, and has a proven record of market traction. In the years to come, Opternative’s goal is to use its digital, refractive eye exam as a beachhead for additional eye care products and cloud based services delivered by eye care providers through our platform. We are a committed and intense team building a trusting and diverse environment where agility, hard work, and velocity are key.
