Optical Technician Jobs

Optical Technician Needed

Do you love gadgets and gizmos as much as you love working with people? Then we want to talk to you about our Optical Technician position. Our busy optical practice needs an Optical Technician to help us give patients a 5-star experience every time they’re here. This is a full-time position with benefits at our office in Greenwood with benefits and weekends off!

No Experience Needed!

Experience is a plus, but it’s certainly not required. We offer paid training to the right person with a great attitude, a helpful heart, and a love of learning! We will ensure you’re confident working with the equipment and patients before you start handling these tasks alone.

We offer:

• Medical, Dental, and Vision Benefits
• 401 (k) with Company match
• Paid vacation and holidays

What you’ll be doing as an Optical Technician:

As an optical technician, you’re the “nurse” of the Eye Care practice. You’ll handle much of the important work to set the doctor and the patient up for success. As the first person to work with each patient during their appointment, you’ll be the one that calms their nerves, gets them in a great mood, and shows them that we are there to serve them in every way we can!

Some of your duties will include:

• Ordering proper tests based on the doctor’s diagnosis.
• Taking notes for the doctor during the patient’s exam.
• Properly coding procedures so everything gets paid by the patient’s insurance.
• “Refracting” the patient, which means starting the process of finding the patient’s eyeglass prescription before the doctor comes in to refine it.
• Spending time with each patient before the doctor comes in, performing duties such as measuring retinal function, peripheral vision, and retinal thickness, and taking retinal photographs. (You’ll be using the same type of instruments NASA uses on the space station!)
• Taking the patient back to the exam room and verifying their medical history

Why this job is more than a job

In Eye Care, we change people’s lives. We help grandma and grandpa keep their independence by saving their eyesight. We help kids get better grades because they can finally see the board! We prevent devastating traffic accidents, allow parents to take in every detail on their children’s faces, and help people enjoy a higher quality of life – because life is so much better when you can SEE. If you want a career where you can directly impact the well-being of your community, this is it!

Skills required – If these sound like you, please apply!

• You’re insanely detail-oriented – Even Santa is jealous of your “making a list and checking it twice” skills.
• You LOVE to learn and master new skills quickly.
• You can make anybody feel comfortable, from squirmy little kids to great-grandmothers... and everyone in between.
• You’re famous for doing what you say you’re going to do – no excuses!
• You’ve got the perfect balance of patience and efficiency.
• You see yourself as integral to your team’s success (because we will).
