About the role
Precision Eye Care is a solo ophthalmology practice providing comprehensive medical and surgical eye care. We are hiring an Ophthalmic Technician to support patient flow in the clinic and to own the clinical follow-up that keeps patients moving between visits, testing, and surgery. This is an on-site role working directly alongside the physician and the technician team.
What you'll do
- Room patients, obtain histories and medications, and perform preliminary workups including visual acuity, refraction, tonometry, and pupil assessment
- Perform and prepare ophthalmic diagnostic testing as directed — visual fields, OCT, topography, biometry, fundus photography
- Own clinical follow-up: track patients who need repeat testing, post-procedure checks, or return visits, and ensure each one is contacted and scheduled
- Handle inbound clinical questions from patients, triage appropriately, and route urgent concerns to the physician same-day
- Coordinate with the scheduling and patient access coordinator so clinical follow-up needs are reflected accurately on the schedule
- Maintain exam rooms, equipment, and instrument readiness between patients
- Document accurately and promptly in athenaOne
What we're looking for
- Prior experience in an ophthalmology or optometry practice strongly preferred; other clinical experience considered for candidates willing to train
- COA, COT, or equivalent certification preferred, or willingness to pursue certification with practice support
- Comfort with EHR documentation; athenaOne experience a plus
- Strong follow-through — this role succeeds or fails on whether patients who need to come back actually come back
- Clear, warm communication with patients, many of whom are older adults navigating surgery
- Reliable, on-site attendance
Compensation: $18.00 - $25.00 per hour
