Eyes on Southern – Royal Palm Beach, FL
Eyes on Southern is a growing private optometry practice seeking a personable, organized and motivated Patient Care Coordinator / Optometric Assistant.
This is not simply a front-desk position. We are looking for a versatile team member who is interested in patient care, optometric assisting, contact lenses, myopia management and the optical/fashion side of eye care.
Previous optometry, ophthalmology or optical experience is preferred. We are willing to cross-train the right individual who has a strong background in one of these areas and is motivated to learn the others.
Responsibilities
- Scheduling, phones and patient communication
- Medical and vision insurance verification and benefit submission
- Patient check-in/check-out and payment collection
- Optometric pretesting and diagnostic testing
- Contact lens ordering and patient coordination
- Teaching contact lens insertion and removal
- Assisting with myopia management, specialty contact lenses and Ortho-K
- Learning and assisting with specialty technologies and services, including Neurolens

- Assisting with optical sales, frame selection and premium lens recommendations
- Dispensing and adjusting eyewear
- Helping maintain an organized and efficient patient experience from arrival through checkout
Who We're Looking For
Experience in any of the following is especially helpful:
- Optometric or ophthalmic assisting
- Optical sales, dispensing and frame adjustments
- Contact lens insertion/removal training
- Ortho-K or myopia management
- Vision and medical insurance
- Premium or luxury retail sales
You do not need experience in every area. We are looking for someone with a strong foundation who is enthusiastic about becoming cross-trained.
An interest in fashion and eyewear is important, as this position will participate in our high-end optical and learn to confidently present premium eyewear, lens technology and specialty services.
The ideal candidate is dependable, warm, detail-oriented, comfortable multitasking, confident with patients and willing to take initiative.
Professional Growth
We value continuing education and professional development. Team members are encouraged to participate in industry training, continuing education and opportunities to attend relevant conferences and educational events.
If you enjoy eye care, fashion, technology and working directly with patients — and want a position where you can continue learning and become an important part of a growing private practice — we would love to hear from you.
