Provide support for various tests, including but not limited to, fundus photography, OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography), and other specialized diagnostic tools.
Explain test procedures to patients to ensure clarity and ease during their visit.

Explain follow-up procedures or referrals to other specialists, as advised by the optometrist.
Equipment Maintenance & Inventory:
Ensure that diagnostic equipment is cleaned, calibrated, and functioning properly.
Monitor the office’s optical supplies and assist with ordering inventory as needed.
Scheduling & Administrative Support:
Assist with patient scheduling, confirming appointments, and ensuring a smooth patient flow in the office.
Answer patient inquiries and help with insurance verification or paperwork when necessary.

Qualifications:

Excellent communication skills for interacting with patients and staff.
Basic understanding of optical equipment and diagnostic tools used in eye exams.
Patient documentation practices.

Physical Requirements:
