Experienced optometrists in East Anglia earned up to £8,300 more than practitioners in other parts of the UK last year, according to a salary survey of the optical sector.
The region boasted an average salary of £53,3000 for optometrists with more than 10 years’ experience, reported headhunting firm Hunter Human Capital. The lowest average salary for experienced optometrists was £45,000 in the Central Belt of Scotland.
Jason Dunn, Client Services Manager, Hunter Human Capital said that supply and demand plays a huge part in average salary figures. ‘Experienced optometrists (10+ years PQE) and dispensing opticians (5+ years PQE) in areas of the country with low supply and huge demand have larger salaries, so these areas include the South West, South East and East Anglia.’
