Optometric assistants/technicians at Baxter Eye Care perform duties that assist the doctor in providing quality health care. Their importance cannot be overstated, as they are a vital part of the patient interaction and data collection process that contributes to each and every examination. This process includes:

•       Performing preliminary testing on patients prior to being seen by the doctor, which includes visual field screening, tonometry, auto refraction, and retinal imaging.

•       Taking a brief case history to determine the patient's reason for visit, and any problems they are having.

•       Using a lensometer to determine the prescription in a patient's glasses

•       Teaching proper technique for insertion and removal of both rigid and soft contact lenses to new wearers.

In addition, our assistants also participate in general office duties such as:

•             Answering phones to assist patients with a variety of needs

•             Placing and processing contact lens orders

•             Restocking trial contact lenses and other ophthalmic supplies as needed

•             Maintaining a clean and tidy work environment

At Baxter Eye Care, we strive to provide quality care and friendly personal service to every patient.  We are looking for a team member that can contribute to this vision by bringing efficiency, dedication, and compassion to the job each day.
