Licensed Optician

Job Description

Job Description

Eyetopia Eyecare is a privately owned, full-scope optometry practice in Littleton, Colorado, dedicated to delivering exceptional eye care with a personal touch. Our two-doctor practice offers routine wellness exams, medical eye care management, specialty contact lens fittings (including scleral lenses), and a thoughtfully curated optical. We take pride in knowing our patients by name and treating every visit like it matters -- because it does.

We're looking for a talented, warm-hearted optician to join our close-knit team. If you genuinely love people, take pride in your craft, and can find joy in the details -- we want to meet you.

Who We're Looking For:

Above all, we want someone who is friendly and personable -- someone patients are genuinely happy to see. Technical skills can be taught; warmth and genuine care for people are the foundation we build on. Beyond that, our ideal candidate is:

- Organized -- You keep the optical running smoothly: orders tracked, inventory tidy, patients followed up with on time.

- Detail-oriented -- You catch the small things: a frame adjustment that's almost right (but not quite), a transposition that doesn't look right on the Rx, a pupillary distance that's off a millimeter.

- Patient-first -- You take time to understand what patients want, explain their options clearly, and make them feel confident in their choices.

- A team player -- You pitch in, communicate openly, and make the workday better for everyone around you.

- Proactively helpful -- You don't wait to be asked. You anticipate what's needed and get ahead of it.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

- Guide patients through frame and lens selection with genuine enthusiasm and expert knowledge

- Accurately interpret prescriptions (including complex Rxs) and recommend appropriate lens designs and materials

- Take and verify measurements: PD, seg heights, vertex distance, pantoscopic tilt

- Dispense and adjust eyewear -- ensuring every patient leaves with a comfortable, properly fitting pair

- Manage optical orders from placement through patient pickup, including lab communication

- Verify finished jobs for quality and accuracy before dispensing

- Process and verify optical insurance benefits (EyeMed, VSP, etc.)

- Educate patients on lens options, coatings, and eyewear care

- Maintain optical inventory, displays, and frame board organization

- Assist with contact lens dispensing, training, and follow-up as needed

- Support front desk and clinical team when the practice is busy

Benefits

- Paid time off

- 401(k)

- Paid holidays

- Quarterly team events

- Team meals

- Coffee treats
