Careers
Grow with Beyond 2020.
Beyond 2020 Vision Specialists is an independent, optometrist-owned practice founded in 2020 by Dr. Christopher Tumolo and Dr. Vicky Than. Today 13 optometrists see patients at our offices from Pasco County to Venice.
- The largest optometrist-owned practice in the Tampa Bay area*
- The largest Visionworks sublease practice in Florida*
* Counted by number of offices as of November 2026. Tampa Bay area: Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Manatee counties. Visionworks: Florida stores where the independent optometry practice inside is ours.
For optometrists
We hire full-time, part-time and fill-in optometrists for our private offices and our offices inside Visionworks. You’ll practice full-scope optometry: comprehensive exams, contact lenses, medical eye care, urgent visits and driver license and DOT vision exams.
- Learn from experienced doctors. Dr. Tumolo teaches advanced refraction, and our doctors see a wide range of cases, from keratoconus and scleral lenses to complex refractions and low vision glasses.
- Room to grow. With new offices opening, there are opportunities to take on a primary office and build your own patient base.
- A team behind you. Office managers, technicians and opticians handle the front desk, pretesting and eyewear, so you can focus on patient care.
For optometry students and schools
Beyond 2020 is an approved clinical rotation site for the Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions College of Optometry. Beginning in 2027, students will rotate through our offices under the direct supervision of our doctors, seeing primary care, specialty contact lens, medical and low vision patients. Optometry schools interested in adding a rotation site in Tampa Bay are welcome to reach out. Read the announcement
Opticians, technicians and front desk
We also hire licensed opticians, optometric technicians and front desk team members. Experience helps, but we train people who are friendly, careful and eager to learn. Patients mention our teams’ kindness in hundreds of reviews, and that starts with who we hire.
