Optometric Technician Jobs in Illinois
An Optometric Technician plays a crucial role in the optometry field by assisting optometrists in providing eye care services to patients. Their responsibilities may include conducting pre-examination tests, maintaining ophthalmic instruments, scheduling appointments, and assisting with vision tests and measurements. They also provide patient education on lens care, frame adjustments, and contact lens handling. They play a significant part in ensuring a smooth and efficient operation within the optometry office.
They must possess excellent communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work well within a team. They should also have a strong understanding of optometric technology and equipment. While certification is not always required, becoming a Certified Paraoptometric (CPO) or Certified Paraoptometric Assistant (CPOA) can enhance job prospects and professional growth. Individuals often start in entry-level roles such as a medical assistant, administrative assistant, or receptionist in a healthcare setting before advancing to an Optometric Technician position.
