Optical Office Staff Jobs in United, PA

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. They are typically responsible for greeting and checking in patients, scheduling appointments, maintaining patient records, processing payments, and assisting with eye wear sales and fittings. They may also be tasked with performing preliminary eye tests and communicating with insurance companies.
