Optical Office Staff Jobs in Bellmore, NY

An Optical Office Staff plays a crucial role in the optometry industry by handling numerous administrative and customer service tasks that contribute to a smooth functioning of an optical clinic or store.

Experience in the healthcare field, particularly in an optometry or ophthalmology setting, can be advantageous.
