Optometric Technician

Optometric Technician
— the backbone of every exam

WHO WE ARE

At Vista Eye Associates, we believe a great eye exam begins long before the doctor walks in the room. Our optometric technicians are clinical partners — skilled, trusted, and essential to every patient interaction. If you're someone who finds quiet satisfaction in precision work, genuinely enjoys people, and wants to grow inside a practice that values your contribution, you've found your place.

"The best technicians don't just gather data — they set the tone for the entire visit."

THE ROLE

You'll work side-by-side with our optometrists to deliver seamless, thorough exams for a diverse patient base — from routine annual visits to complex medical eye care. Your pre-testing accuracy directly shapes diagnosis and treatment, so attention to detail isn't a soft skill here — it's clinical infrastructure. You'll be the first face patients see clinically, and your ability to put them at ease matters as much as your technical chops.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Perform comprehensive testing: visual acuities, autorefraction, tonometry (non-contact), visual fields, color vision, stereopsis, and cover testing.
• Operate and maintain diagnostic imaging equipment — OCT, fundus photography, corneal topography, optical biometry and more.
• Take thorough patient histories, document chief complaints, and update medication and allergy lists accurately in the EHR.
• Instill dilating drops, and assist with minor in-office procedures as directed by the OD.
• Manage patient flow — rooming patients, preparing exam lanes, and keeping the schedule moving without sacrificing the patient experience.
• Handle clinical phone triage: symptoms, urgent concerns, post-op questions, and prescription inquiries.
• Maintain, clean, and perform basic calibration checks on all clinical instruments.
• Accurately code and document exam findings to support medical billing and continuity of care.
