Optician (1 YR Exp)

About Us:

Optique was established in 2008 serving Denver’s lower downtown and lower highlands residents. Our specialty lays in Men’s and Women’s luxury designer Eyeglasses, Sunglasses, and state of the art Free-form Ophthalmic lenses. Our eyewear consists of designs and styles from eyewear visionaries and artists – giving our customers a world of shapes, colors, and styles they won’t find anywhere else. Since we all see life through a different kind of lens, our lenses use the most up to date technologies available to find the lens to fit our customer’s lifestyle.

We are currently expanding our Parker practice and need an additional Optician to support the growing number of patients we service.
