OPTOMETRIC ASSISTANT – FOCUS ON OPTICAL DISPENSING

Location: Shelburne, ON Type: Full-time Pay: From $17.20 /hour
Are you someone who enjoys helping people see, look and feel spectacular? Do you happen to know your way around an optical gallery? If you’ve worked in an optometry clinic or optical before and love helping patients we’d like to hear from you.
We’re a modern, full-scope optometry clinic in the growing town of Shelburne, with an in-house Dry Eye Spa and a strong focus on personalized care. We are looking for an Optometric Assistant with hands-on experience in the field — especially someone who’s confident in dispensing and loves guiding patients through the process of choosing glasses they’ll love.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING (MOSTLY DISPENSING, WITH A BIT OF EVERYTHING ELSE)

Your main focus will be working in our optical gallery, helping patients choose frames, recommending lenses, placing orders, and adjusting and repairing eyewear. But like any clinic, we work as a team — so you’ll also help out at the front desk, assist with pre-testing, support the optometrists, and jump in wherever needed to keep the day running smoothly.
This position requires Saturday availability.

SOME OF YOUR DAY-TO-DAY TASKS MIGHT INCLUDE

• Helping patients select frames and lenses that suit their needs and style
• Placing and tracking optical orders, adjusting and repairing glasses
• Greeting patients, answering phones, scheduling appointments and direct billing
• Running pre-testing ( auto-refraction, OCT, visual fields, etc.)
• Assisting with dry eye assessments and treatments
• Teaching patients how to use contact lenses
• Keeping the space clean, organized, and welcoming
