Proficiency in operating medical equipment such as A-scan biometers, tonometers for intraocular pressure measurement, and diagnostic imaging devices.
Familiarity with EMR/EHR systems for managing electronic health records efficiently and accurately.
Ability to perform direct patient care with compassion while adhering to clinical confidentiality policies.
