Ophthalmic Assistant | Exciting Opportunity - Costa Mesa, CA

Job Description

Job Description

Are you an Optometric Technician looking for your next career move? An established eye care practice in Costa Mesa is expanding and seeking technicians to join its team. This is an opportunity for those ready to take their skills to the next level, enjoy team camaraderie, and build a long-term future in eye care.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Room for Growth: Team members are encouraged and supported to expand their clinical and leadership skills with ongoing training and mentorship directly from experienced eye doctors. As the practice grows, opportunities for advancement may include mastering new technologies, taking on additional responsibilities, or stepping into leadership roles.
• Team-Oriented Culture: Work alongside a friendly, collaborative staff where your contributions matter. The owners are practicing doctors who are invested in your professional development and in creating a supportive work environment.
• Stability and Longevity: Join a thriving practice with a clear vision for future expansion. Be part of a team where people build lasting careers, not just jobs.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform independent pre-testing, including visual acuity, auto-refraction, tonometry, retinal imaging, OCT, visual fields, and more
• Accurately document patient information and exam findings within the EHR system
• Provide optical sales support, including frame styling, lens recommendations, eyewear dispensing, and patient education
• Schedule patient appointments, manage clinic flow, and verify vision insurance benefits
• Deliver outstanding customer service and assist with patient intake, check-in, and clinic operations
• Maintain exam rooms, diagnostic equipment, and clinical supplies

The Perks:

• Competitive pay starting at $20/hr (commensurate with experience)
• Full-time schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:40am–5:00pm, with occasional Saturdays
• Paid time off, robust healthcare and dental benefits, 401K
• Employee discounts on eyewear and eye care services
• A culture of mentorship and professional growth

What They Are Looking For:

• Minimum 2 years of experience in a retail optometry office
• Strong optometric pre-testing skills and comfort working independently
• Experience with optical sales, eyewear dispensing, and EHR documentation
• Familiarity with vision insurance verification
• Excellent communication, organizational, and multitasking skills
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, patient-focused environment
• Bonus: Experience with contact lens training/education and/or bilingual in English and Spanish
