$20 - $25 per hour

Carolina Macula and Retina

Job Description

Job Description

IMMEDIATE OPENING

Ophthalmic Technician / Scribe (Retina Specialist)

Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Full-Time | No Weekends | Physician-Led Retina Practice

We are actively hiring an experienced Ophthalmic Technician / Scribe to join our growing retina practice.

This is not an entry-level technician role. We are looking for an experienced ophthalmic professional whose primary responsibility will be real-time physician scribing and clinical documentation during patient visits, procedures, and treatment discussions.

Approximately 70% of this role is physician-side scribing , requiring speed, precision, clinical awareness, and the ability to keep pace with the physician while maintaining exceptional documentation accuracy.

The remaining portion of the role includes direct patient care support, including workups, diagnostic imaging, and procedural assistance when clinic flow demands it.

If you thrive in a fast-paced ophthalmology environment, understand retina terminology, and can document accurately while keeping pace with the physician, we’d love to meet you.

 

Compensation & Growth

Starting pay: $20 to $25 per hour (based on experience)

Team members may earn up to an additional $7 per hour through certifications, continuing education, and demonstrated performance.

We believe in rewarding team members who invest in themselves, continue growing professionally, and contribute positively to our culture.

 

What You’ll Do

Primary Responsibilities

• Provide real-time physician scribing during retina clinic visits

• Accurately document patient histories, exam findings, diagnoses, treatment plans, and procedures in Nextech MDI

• Document retina-specific clinical findings and treatment plans

• Maintain documentation accuracy while keeping pace with physician workflow

• Anticipate physician preferences and charting needs with minimal direction

 

Secondary Clinical Responsibilities

• Perform patient workups including:

◦ Visual acuity

◦ Medical and medication history

◦ Intraocular pressure testing

◦ Review of systems

• Perform OCT imaging and other diagnostic testing as needed

• Assist with intravitreal injections and in-office procedures

• Prepare rooms, instruments, and supplies for patient care

• Support efficient clinic flow and an exceptional patient experience

 

What We’re Looking For

Required

• Minimum 2 years of ophthalmology experience

• Proven ophthalmic scribing experience (general medical scribing will not be considered)

• Strong knowledge of ophthalmic terminology

• Ability to type 50+ WPM with high accuracy

• Excellent listening skills and attention to detail

• Ability to multitask and stay organized in a fast-paced environment

• Professional, dependable, and team-oriented

 

Preferred

• Retina experience strongly preferred

• Experience with Nextech MDI

• Experience with OCT imaging

 

Why Join Our Practice?

• No weekends

• Small, physician-led specialty practice

• Direct physician mentorship and access

• Meaningful patient relationships

• Complex, interesting retinal cases

• Opportunity for long-term career growth

• Compensation that grows as your skills grow

 

Benefits

• Health insurance

• Dental insurance

• Vision insurance

• Simple IRA with employer match

• Paid time off

• Sick leave

• Paid holidays

• Parental leave

• Uniforms provided

• Team lunches provided

• Wellness-focused culture

 

Professional Growth Opportunities

Team members are encouraged to continue developing professionally through:

• IJCAHPO COA Certification

• Ophthalmic coding and billing education through the American Academy of Ophthalmology

Exceptional performance in professionalism, attendance, and communication may also lead to early compensation reviews.

 

Important Note

This role is best suited for an experienced ophthalmic professional who enjoys being at the physician’s side, documenting complex patient encounters with speed, accuracy, and clinical confidence.

If you love ophthalmology, thrive under pressure, and take pride in being one step ahead, we’d love to talk.

This position requires candidates to be legally authorized to work in the United States without employer sponsorship
