Ophthalmic Assistant

The ophthalmic assistant (OA) is a healthcare professional who works alongside ophthalmologists and optometrists to provide patient care in an ophthalmology setting.

OAs assist with all clinical duties including but not limited to: monitoring patient arrivals, performing basic eye exams, gathering and documentation of patient health and eye history, providing patient assistance with navigating the clinic, and providing an exceptional patient experience.
