Join the Eye Co. Team!
If you’re looking for a job where every day is exactly the same, this probably isn’t it.
If you’re excited about helping people see better, learning new technology, working with patients, exploring eyewear, and being part of a growing private practice, we’d love to meet you.
At Eye Co., we believe great eyecare is about more than checking a prescription. It’s about creating an experience where patients feel cared for, educated, and confident in their eye health.
If you’re not interested in learning new technology, cross-training, talking with patients, helping someone find the perfect pair of glasses, or being part of a team that is constantly growing and improving—this may not be the right position for you.
But if that sounds exciting, keep reading.
About Us
Eye Co. is a locally owned, family-focused, community-based, and growing private optometry practice in Columbus, OH. We are passionate about providing exceptional eyecare while creating personalized experiences where patients feel genuinely known, heard, and cared for.
As an independent practice, we have the freedom to think differently, embrace new technology, continually grow our services, and do what's best for our patients.
Our mission is simple:
Helping patients continue to love their eyes with us.
We're building more than a practice - we're building a team and a community centered around exceptional care, meaningful relationships, innovation, and making a difference - one patient, one family, and one community at a time.
Our Work Environment
- Modern, technology-driven office
- Growth opportunities
- On-the-job and virtual training
- Community involvement
- Collaborative, supportive team
- Opportunities to learn multiple areas of optometry and patient care
Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for a reliable, self-motivated, positive team member who enjoys working with people and wants to grow.
You should be someone who:
- Enjoys interacting with patients
- Is comfortable with technology and computers—or excited to learn

Not an optical expert? That's okay. Prior optometric or optical experience is preferred, but not required for candidates with strong customer service skills and the right attitude. We can teach skills. We’re looking for someone who is curious, dependable, coachable, and genuinely cares about people.

Your day may look different from one day to the next. You’ll have the opportunity to learn and contribute across multiple areas of the practice, including:
- Helping patients select frames and lenses
- Ordering eyeglasses, lenses, and contact lenses
- Assisting patients before and after their eye exams
- Providing patient follow-up and communication
- Answering phones and supporting front desk operations
- Confirming patient benefits and billing office visit claims
- Supporting social media content creation
- Assisting with Dry Eye MedSpa services
- Communicating with doctors and team members regarding patient needs
- Educating patients about eyewear care, contact lenses, and available services
- Learning and utilizing modern optometric technology and equipment

- You notice the little details.
- You want to grow professionally.
- You’re comfortable stepping outside of your comfort zone.

- You aren't interested in learning new technology.
- You don't like change or growth.
- You need someone constantly telling you what to do.

We’re growing—and we’re looking for people who want to grow with us.
