About The Position

As an Ophthalmic Scribe, you will work alongside a physician, dictating into the patient's chart and assisting with minor in-office procedures. This role involves bringing patients to and from exam rooms, performing detailed documentation of patient work-ups and OD/MD comments in the patient's electronic medical record, and completing the patient encounter form based on the determined diagnosis. You will also apply drops to anesthetize, dilate, or medicate eyes, provide chair-side physician assistance, and administer treatment as allowed and ordered by the physician. Additionally, you will review care instructions with patients, complete a detailed patient history (including past medical history, family medical history, and chief complaint), and check patient's visual acuity (far acuity, near acuity, peripheral vision, depth perception, and color perception). The role includes examining eyes for abnormalities, performing other tests and measurements such as A-scans, B-scans, fundus photography, corneal topography, HRTII and pachymetry, and measuring intraocular pressure of eyes (glaucoma test). You will also read patient's eyeglass prescription with automated lensometry, prep exam rooms for treatment, and maintain patient confidentiality following HIPAA regulations. A basic knowledge of eye anatomy, disease, symptoms & ocular medications is required, along with staying current with the latest technologies and medications to answer general patient questions.
