Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• GasPerms.com / LocalEyeCareJobs (vertical niche boards): Smaller specialty job boards serving optometry and allied eyecare roles. Comparable as an early-stage vertical recruitment competitor in the same niche employer and job-seeker market.
• PracticeMatch / HEALTHeCAREERS Network: Healthcare-physician recruitment platforms with growing specialty coverage. Comparable as a recruiter-led alternative in the physician and advanced-practice job-placement market, with potential overlap in eyecare hiring.

Direct peers

• Optometry Times: An optometry-focused trade publication providing clinical news, CE/CME content, and practice management resources to optometrists. Comparable as a competing eyecare content and education platform targeting the same optometry professional audience.
• Health eCareers: A long-standing healthcare-focused job marketplace and recruitment platform serving hospitals, practices, and healthcare professionals. Directly comparable to Eyes On Eyecare in operating a vertical-specific job board and recruiting service, though it covers the broader healthcare workforce rather than just eyecare.
• PracticeLink: Healthcare job board and recruitment platform focused on physician and advanced-practice placement. Comparable in offering a verticalized marketplace plus recruiting resources, employer tools, and career content for healthcare professionals.
• Jobson Optical / Jobson Healthcare Information: A dominant optical and eyecare media company publishing trade titles (Review of Optometry, Ophthalmology Times) and operating optical industry data and education services. Directly competes with Eyes On Eyecare's eyecare publishing, news, and CE/CME content business.
• Ophthalmology Times / Advanstar (now MJH Life Sciences): A leading ophthalmology trade publication covering clinical news, products, and continuing education. Directly comparable in delivering eyecare-specialty editorial content, news, and sponsored educational programming to the same ophthalmologist audience.

Broad incumbents

• Indeed: The largest generalist job board with a sizable healthcare vertical. Comparable as a destination for eyecare employer job postings and job-seeker search, even though it does not offer eyecare-specific content, KOL networks, or CE/CME.
• LinkedIn: The largest generalist professional network and job marketplace. Comparable in being a primary destination for job listings, professional content, and recruiting in healthcare — including eyecare — even though it lacks vertical specialization.
• Wolters Kluwer Health / Lippincott: A major medical and healthcare publisher offering journals, clinical content, and CE across many specialties including optometry and ophthalmology. Comparable as a vertically authoritative medical-content and CE competitor with deeper resources and broader specialty coverage.
