Ophthalmic Technician (On the job training)

Great Plains Health • North Platte, NE

20h • Onsite

About The Position

An ophthalmic technician prepares patients to see the ophthalmologist for different types of appointments by performing a range of tasks. For routine exams, these tasks can include measuring visual acuity, tonometry, refraction, and eye drop instillation. A technician would also be expected to complete specialty testing such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus photography, corneal topography, optical biometry, and visual field testing. Technicians will learn how to record information using an Electronic Health Record (EHR) and will assist the ophthalmologist in scribing the findings during exams. A technician will become versed in obtaining patient histories, providing explanations of post operative procedures, and answering patient questions. They will also perform various office duties such as maintaining stock in exam rooms and technician areas and processing prescription refill requests. An ophthalmic technician at Eye Surgeons of Nebraska does not assist the ophthalmologist in the operating room, but will assist with minor, in-office procedures. These can include laser treatments, lid lesion removals, and foreign body removals. Join us. Join great. Join the dynamic team at Great Plains Health and be a part of something truly exceptional.
