Description: About the Role:
Are you someone who loves helping people see the world more clearly-literally? We're looking for a bright, energetic, and detail-loving Ophthalmic Assistant to join our eye care dream team! Whether you're measuring vision, calming nerves, or helping during eye exams, you're a key part of every patient's journey to better sight.
Think of yourself as part technician, part educator, and full-on superhero in scrubs.Requirements: What You'll Be Doing (a.k.a. Your Superpowers):

• Greet patients with a warm smile and collect their stories (a.k.a. medical histories).
• Check vision, pressure, pupils, and more-like a vision detective.
• Assist during eye exams and minor procedures (don't worry, we'll train you!).
• Prep exam rooms with precision and keep things sparkling clean.
• Teach patients how to use eye drops like pros and walk them through post-care steps.
• Keep our high-tech gadgets running smoothly (you'll be BFFs with our diagnostic equipment).
• Master the EMR (that's our digital command center) for scheduling, charting, and notes.
• Work alongside a fun, professional team that really gets each other.
  What You Bring to the Table:
  • A high school diploma or GED (bonus points for medical or eye care experience!)
  • A passion for helping people and an eye for detail (pun intended )
  • Certification as a COA is awesome, but not required-willingness to learn is key!
  • Excellent communication and multitasking super skills
  • Comfort with tech and an eagerness to learn
    Perks & Benefits:
    • Flexible hours & friendly coworkers
    • Eye care discounts (of course!)
    • Opportunities for growth and certification support
    • Coffee, laughs, and the occasional office donut
      
      
      Compensation details: 17-21 Hourly Wage
