What is an optical lab customer service representative?

Optical Lab Customer Service representatives are professionals who assist customers and eye care providers with orders, product information, and troubleshooting related to eyeglasses, lenses, and optical products. They serve as the main point of contact between the optical laboratory and customers, addressing inquiries about order status, product options, and resolving any issues that may arise.

Familiarity with lab management software, order tracking systems, and basic computer applications is essential.
