Optometric & Patient Care Support:
- Welcome patients and perform preliminary testing (Autorefractor, NCT/tonometer, visual fields, fundus imaging).
- Collect and update patient medical history and vision records in our EHR system.
- Verify vision insurance benefits and explain out-of-pocket costs clearly to patients.
- Keep exam rooms and display cases clean, organized, and sanitized.
Qualifications & Requirements
- Experience Required: Minimum 1+ years of experience as an Optometric Assistant or Optical Dispenser/Optician in an eye care setting.
- Technical Skills: Strong working knowledge of optical lenses, frame fitting, PD measurements, and optical adjustments.
- Customer Service: Friendly, professional demeanor with excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- EHR & Computer Savvy: Comfortable navigating EHR/practice management software and submitting insurance claims/orders online.
- Certification (Plus, but not required): CPO, CPOA, or ABO certification is a bonus!
Why Join Us?
- Competitive Pay: Starting at $23.00 per hour , with room for growth based on experience.
- Work-Life Balance: Monday to Thursday 9am to 6pm and Fridays 9am to 5pm with 1-2 Saturdays per month. Saturday hours are 9am to 2pm
- Perks: Generous employee and family eyewear discounts + professional development opportunities.
