Optometric Technician
3 weeks ago
We are seeking a friendly, outgoing optometric technician to join our team. Ideal traits for this role are someone who is detail-oriented, independent, self-starter, and a collaborative team-player with a focus on patients. The tech role is generally a patient's 2nd point of contact after the receptionist. The tech takes patient health histories and pre-test patients by running diagnostic tests. As you become comfortable in the role, you'll have the opportunity to cross-train with other roles to help out as needed. Additionally, our office has 3 locations, so eventually, as others take vacation time, there could be opportunities to fill in at the Ooltewah and/or Hixson/Lakesite locations if it's deemed a good fit for both the employee and office.
Responsibilities:
- Perform pre-testing and other diagnostic testing as needed
- Obtain patient health history
- Clean and maintain regularly used items/complete weekly chores
- Prepare for the next business day by printing out schedules and performing other responsibilities as required
- Complete prescription refill requests
- Submit patient contact lens orders
- Maintain contact lens inventory
- Communicate with vendors regarding contact lens supply and demand
- Collaborate across the team to ensure quality care and customer service, cross-training to back-up other areas when needed
- Maintain confidentiality of health information and exercise discretion in handling sensitive data
- Other duties as required and needed
