Optometric Technician

Dr. Bermel and Associates • Leesburg, VA

8d • Hybrid

About The Position

We are looking for a sharp, fast-learning Ophthalmic Technician who loves pretesting and can confidently jump to the front desk when needed. This is a true hybrid position in our heavy medical practice — one minute you’re performing OCTs, visual fields, and refractions, the next you’re welcoming patients, scheduling, and educating them on dry eye treatments, myopia control, or aesthetic services the doctor just recommended.

Requirements

• 1+ years experience as an ophthalmic technician, optometric tech, or medical assistant (in eyecare strongly preferred)
• Proficiency with OCT, visual fields, fundus photography, tonometry, and auto-refractometers
• Experience checking insurance eligibility and collecting copays a plus
• Excellent communication — you can explain glaucoma drops or TriLift in plain English
• Reliable, punctual, and team-oriented

Nice To Haves

• CPR certification a bonus (we’ll help you get it if needed)

Responsibilities

• Perform complete pretest workups (auto-refraction, NCT, visual fields, OCT, fundus photos, lensometry, etc.)
• Accurately input medical history and chief complaint into EHR
• Scribe for the doctor when needed
• Confidently explain and schedule recommended services (Lipiflow, Gentle Molding, TriLift, SmoothGlo, etc.)
• Greet patients warmly, check in/out, answer phones, verify insurance, collect payments
• Keep rooms stocked, instruments calibrated, and pretest area running smoothly
• Cross-train and help wherever the day demands — we move fast and work as a team

Benefits

• Competitive hourly pay + quarterly bonus potential
• Health benefits, PTO, uniform allowance, generous eyewear discounts
• Paid continuing education and certification support (COA, CPOC, etc.)
• Real growth path — many of our techs move into lead tech, scribe, or management roles
