Optometry List serves as a platform that links business owners with optometrists seeking temporary employment opportunities. The purpose of Optometry List is to minimize networking time and streamline the process of locating and hiring fill-in professionals, thereby reducing the potential loss of revenue associated with closing operations when other staffed optometrists require time off.

Fill-in work is usually called moonlighting in the doctorate world. It involves a temporary arrangement for gig work, usually getting paid for a daily rate of work.

Optometry list is a free service, used to connect optometrists and practice owners. Once the connection is made, it is the responsibility of the Practice Owner and Optometrist to discuss and agree upon a contract and compensation rate. The compensation rate is typically slightly higher for fill-in work compared to part-time or full-time work. The payment is made directly between the employer and the optometrist and does not involve Optometry List.
