Optician (Part Time)

Job Description

Job Description

About Us

Redefined Eyecare is a modern, boutique-style optometry practice in McKinney. Since opening in 2023, we have cared for families across McKinney, Allen, Frisco, and Prosper. Our care is personal and uses current technology, so every visit feels unhurried and tailored to the patient.

Our optical carries a hand-selected collection of independent, designer frame brands. You won't find the usual mall-store lineup. Along with eyewear, we offer comprehensive and pediatric eye exams, specialty contact lenses, myopia management, medical and urgent eye care, and a dedicated Dry Eye Spa.

The Role

We're looking for an Optician who loves eyewear, enjoys people, and takes pride in getting the details right. You'll work closely with our Optometrist to give every patient an excellent optical experience, from choosing frames through the final fitting.

Optical is the heart of this job, but we're a small office and everyone pitches in. Along with optical, you'll regularly handle front desk duties, pretesting, and opening and closing the office. If you like variety and enjoy being part of a close-knit team, you'll fit right in. If you want to do optical only, this probably isn't the right role.

What You'll Do

• Guide patients through frame selection based on their prescription, face shape, lifestyle, and personal style
• Recommend and explain lens options, including digitally surfaced and progressive lenses, Trivex and high-index materials, anti-reflective and blue-light coatings, and photochromics
• Help patients choose prescription and non-prescription sunglasses
• Take accurate measurements (PD, seg height, fitting heights) and place lens orders with labs
• Verify incoming jobs for accuracy against the prescription
• Dispense, fit, adjust, and repair eyewear
• Troubleshoot and problem-solve to achieve satisfactory visual acuity
• Help patients with contact lens orders and teach insertion, removal, and care
• Process vision insurance benefits and explain out-of-pocket costs clearly before purchase
• Keep frame boards stocked, clean, and well merchandised; assist with inventory and frame buying
• Help with front desk tasks between optical patients, including check-in and check-out, insurance verification, scheduling, and patient calls, emails, and texts
• Assist with pretesting, opening and closing the office, and other team tasks as needed
  

What We're Looking For

• 1+ year of optical dispensing experience preferred
• ABO certification preferred (or willingness to earn it; we'll support you)
• Familiarity with vision plans such as VSP and EyeMed, is a plus
• Experience with optometry practice management software is a plus
• A warm, polished, patient-first communication style
• Strong attention to detail and comfort with basic hand tools for adjustments and repairs
• An eye for fashion and genuine enthusiasm for well-made eyewear
  

Why You'll Love Working Here

• A 4-day week with no evenings or weekends
• Competitive hourly pay
• A small, supportive team where your ideas are heard
