Job description

Ophthalmic Technician (Pretest + Front Desk Hybrid) - Bermel Vision & Aesthetics
Locations: Leesburg, Fairfax, and Gainesville, Virginia Job Type: Full-Time (up to 40 hours/week) Schedule: Rotating Saturdays required • Closed Sundays & most major holidays
The Role - Best of Both Worlds We are looking for a sharp, fast-learning Ophthalmic Technician who loves pretesting and can confidently jump to the front desk when needed. This is a true hybrid position in our heavy medical practice - one minute you're performing OCTs, visual fields, and refractions, the next you're welcoming patients, scheduling, and educating them on dry eye treatments, myopia control, or aesthetic services the doctor just recommended.
Daily Responsibilities
  • Perform complete pretest workups (auto-refraction, NCT, visual fields, OCT, fundus photos, lensometry, etc.)
  • Accurately input medical history and chief complaint into EHR
  • Scribe for the doctor when needed
  • Confidently explain and schedule recommended services (Lipiflow, Gentle Molding, TriLift, SmoothGlo, etc.)
  • Greet patients warmly, check in/out, answer phones, verify insurance, collect payments
  • Keep rooms stocked, instruments calibrated, and pretest area running smoothly
  • Cross-train and help wherever the day demands - we move fast and work as a team
Who Thrives Here
  • You learn new equipment and procedures quickly
  • You're comfortable speaking with patients about medical and aesthetic recommendations without being "salesy"
  • You stay calm and professional in a busy medical environment
  • You genuinely enjoy making patients feel cared for from the moment they walk in
Requirements
  • 1+ years experience as an ophthalmic technician, optometric tech, or medical assistant (in eyecare strongly preferred)
  • Proficiency with OCT, visual fields, fundus photography, tonometry, and auto-refractometers
  • Experience checking insurance eligibility and collecting copays a plus
  • Excellent communication - you can explain glaucoma drops or TriLift in plain English
  • Reliable, punctual, and team-oriented
  • CPR certification a bonus (we'll help you get it if needed)
Perks
  • Competitive hourly pay + quarterly bonus potential
  • Health benefits, PTO, uniform allowance, generous eyewear discounts
  • Paid continuing education and certification support (COA, CPOC, etc.)
  • Real growth path - many of our techs move into lead tech, scribe, or management roles
