Full-time optical jobs typically refer to positions in the eye care industry that require working 35-40 hours per week. These roles can include opticians, optical sales associates, lab technicians, and other staff who help fit and dispense eyeglasses and contact lenses, assist customers, and perform basic eye care services. Full-time optical employees may work in optometry offices, retail optical stores, or optical labs. Benefits often include health insurance, paid time off, and opportunities for professional development. A strong customer service orientation and attention to detail are important for these roles.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a full time optical professional?

To thrive as a Full-Time Optician, you generally need a solid understanding of optical theory, lens fitting, and eye care, often backed by an associate degree or optician certification. Familiarity with lensometers, optical dispensing software, and insurance billing systems is typically required. Exceptional customer service, attention to detail, and strong communication skills help opticians build trust and assist clients effectively. These competencies are crucial for delivering accurate vision solutions, ensuring patient satisfaction, and maintaining efficient optical operations.

What are some common challenges faced by full time optical staff in a retail optical setting?

Full-time optical staff in a retail environment often encounter challenges such as balancing customer service with technical optical tasks, managing high patient volumes during peak times, and keeping up with frequent product updates in eyewear and lens technology. Additionally, they may need to coordinate with optometrists, insurance providers, and lab technicians to ensure seamless customer experiences. Developing strong communication skills and staying organized are key to navigating these challenges effectively.

Job description

OPTICAL STYLIST

SEE Eyewear is addicted to uncovering hidden gems—and not just within our product assortment.

We believe that finding the perfect frames starts with finding the perfect people. At SEE, we’re curating more than exclusive, fashion-forward eyewear made just for us—we’re building a team of passionate, style-savvy professionals who bring expertise, creativity, and personality to everything they do. From Optical Stylists to Field Leaders, we’re cultivating a community of best-in-class talent where growth, individuality, and excellence are the standard.

Who You Are:

You’re passionate about style and driven by performance. You thrive in a boutique environment where your voice matters, your contributions are seen, and your creativity has space to shine. You don’t just sell eyewear—you build relationships, offer expert styling advice, and deliver personalized service that keeps clients coming back.

Licensing Requirement (Multi-State):
Please note: In certain states, including but not limited to Washington, California, New York, Florida, Ohio, and others that require a licensed dispensing optician or registered apprentice, candidates may be required meet state requirements to perform optical fitting and dispensing duties. This includes fitting, adjusting, and dispensing prescription eyewear. If you are applying for a position in one of these states, you may be required to be a licensed dispensing optician or a registered apprentice under supervision. In states without such requirements, licensing may not be mandatory, but prior optical experience or certification is preferred.

What You’ll Do:

As a SEE Optical Stylist, you’ll be the face of the SEE brand—merging fashion, optical expertise, and personalized service in every customer interaction.

Sales & Client Experience

  • Deliver a high-touch, fashion-forward client experience grounded in SEE’s styling and selling standards.
  • Maintain an active client book and practice intentional clienteling, building long-term relationships through follow-ups, outreach, styling recommendations, and personalized communication that drives repeat business and VIP experiences.
  • Consistently meet or exceed individual sales goals and KPIs.
  • Partner with teammates to team-sell and deliver a seamless customer experience.
  • Share knowledge of fashion trends and styling techniques to create unforgettable eyewear moments.
  • Partner with an optometrist several days a week to support a seamless patient experience while driving sales.

Product & Brand Ambassadorship

  • Become an expert on SEE’s exclusive frame collections, lens offering and enhancements.
  • Style clients with confidence and creativity, positioning eyewear as a personal fashion statement.
  • Maintain merchandising and visual standards that reflect SEE’s elevated boutique experience.

Operations & Professionalism

  • Efficiently and accurately process sales and insurance information using POS and practice management systems.
  • Perform daily operational tasks, including but not limited to opening/closing procedures, register balancing, and deposits.
  • Follow all SEE policies related to pricing, discounts, remakes, returns, and promotional offers.
  • Utilize downtime to complete daily operational tasks and support store upkeep.

Security Awareness

  • Remain alert to potential security risks, shoplifting, or suspicious behavior.
  • Know how to respond to and report theft or safety-related incidents.

What You Bring:

  • A passion for fashion, eyewear, and personal styling.
  • Confidence in a sales-driven environment with measurable goals.
  • A proactive, entrepreneurial mindset—self-motivated with a drive to succeed.
  • Strong communication skills, both with customers and within your team.
  • Comfort working with medical records and insurance portals.
  • Openness to feedback and a hunger for professional growth.
  • A team-first attitude and a willingness to step up where needed.

Requirements:

  • Night & weekend availability required
  • Retail experience preferred
  • Retail optical experience a plus, but not required—we’ll train the right candidate
  • Able to stand for extended periods (up to 8 hours) and lift up to 30 lbs
  • Must comply with SEE’s dress code and fashion-forward presentation
  • Tech-savvy and comfortable using POS systems, insurance portals, Microsoft Office (including Excel), Teams, and OneDrive
  • Licensed dispensing optician or registered apprentice may be required in states with licensing laws (see Licensing Requirement above)
