Optometrist jobs with visa sponsorship in Florida: common questions

Do employers in Florida sponsor visas for optometrists?

Yes. From 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026 the US Labor Department certified 18 H-1B applications from 3 employers. Across the US the same files hold every state's optometrist sponsors.

Which employers in Florida sponsor optometrists?

By certified applications in that period: Gulfview Vision Associates, P.A. (14), University of Miami (3) and MyEyeDr. Optometry of Florida, LLC (1). Every one of them is listed below, with what it offered. A certified application means the employer sponsored that job; write to them directly, as their own job boards list what is open now.

What do employers that sponsor optometrists in Florida pay?

The median of the lowest hourly rate each H-1B application offered was $79.33 an hour. The employer must offer at least the prevailing wage for the job in that place, so a sponsored worker is paid like anyone in the same job there.

Where in Florida are these jobs?

H-1B worksites: Miami (4), Homestead (2), Jacksonville (2), Naples (2), Dania Beach (1) and Kissimmee (1). Open optometrist jobs in Florida lists every employer hiring there now.

Can someone from outside the US get a optometrist job in Florida with sponsorship?

Yes, when an employer files for it. For optometrists in Florida the usual route is the H-1B, a temporary work visa for jobs that need at least a bachelor's degree: the employer files a labor condition application first, as the 18 certified above. A job that sponsors says so in its posting; never pay anyone a fee for a job offer or a visa.

How current is this, and where does it come from?

From the US Labor Department's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure files for 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026, published 2026-08-07: only applications it certified, each read as an occupation by its own job title and placed in Florida by its worksite. A certified application is not yet a visa: USCIS decides the petition after it. CareJobs.Now rebuilds these figures each quarter the files are published.

Sources and method

Counted from the Labor Department's disclosure files: only applications it certified (for PERM, also those certified and then expired unused), each read as an occupation by its own job title with the classifier the board's job pages use, and placed in Florida by the worksite it names. Wages are the lowest rate each application offered, a yearly salary counted over 2,080 hours. Employer names are as the Department records them; a name opens a page here only when it matches one of the board's employers. 18 applications in all.
