We are looking for a sharp, fast-learning Ophthalmic Technician who loves pretesting and can confidently jump to the front desk when needed.

• Cross-train and help wherever the day demands we move fast and work as a team

• You stay calm and professional in a busy medical environment
• You genuinely enjoy making patients feel cared for from the moment they walk in

Requirements

• 1+ years experience as an ophthalmic technician, optometric tech, or medical assistant (in eyecare strongly preferred)
• Proficiency with OCT, visual fields, fundus photography, tonometry, and auto-refractometers
• Experience checking insurance eligibility and collecting copays a plus
• Excellent communication you can explain glaucoma drops or TriLift in plain English
• Reliable, punctual, and team-oriented
• CPR certification a bonus (well help you get it if needed)

Perks

• Competitive hourly pay + quarterly bonus potential
• Health benefits, PTO, uniform allowance, generous eyewear discounts
• Paid continuing education and certification support (COA, CPOC, etc.)
• Real growth path many of our techs move into lead tech, scribe, or management roles
