ABO Certification Full Job Description Important:
This position requires a minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience in the optometric field. Candidates without direct optometric experience will not be considered. Please do not apply if you do not meet this requirement. About Us Spectocular has been a trusted name in eye care for over 30 years, serving the Irving community with personalized attention and high-quality optical products. Under new ownership, we've doubled down on what matters most — exceptional patient care, a modern eyewear selection, and a team-oriented culture where every employee plays a vital role. If you're looking for a practice that values your skills and invests in your growth, we'd love to hear from you. Position Overview This is a cross-trained role where no two days look exactly the same. You'll work alongside the doctor performing pre-testing and chairside assistance, then transition to helping patients find eyewear they love. We believe every team member should understand the full patient care lifecycle — from pre-testing and the exam room to the dispensary and billing desk. Even if your background is stronger in one area, you must be willing to learn and become proficient across all aspects of the practice. Rotating between roles is not optional — it's a core part of how our team operates. Responsibilities Greet patients and set the tone for a positive visit. Perform diagnostic and preliminary testing. Assist the doctor during patient examinations. Provide contact lens training and follow-up care. Guide patients through eyewear selection, fitting, and adjustments with an eye for both function and style. Manage optical department operations including order placement, tracking, inventory, and frame merchandising. Verify and process vision insurance benefits through carriers such as VSP, EyeMed, and others. Quote and bill eyewear and contact lens orders accurately. Discuss insurance coverage and out-of-pocket costs with patients prior to exams and purchases. Troubleshoot order issues and visual acuity concerns. Maintain accurate patient records in full compliance with HIPAA and other regulatory standards. Handle appointment scheduling, patient communications, and vendor coordination. Rotate between clinical, optical, and administrative duties as needed throughout the day or week. Contribute to team meetings and ongoing practice improvement. What We're Looking For A warm, patient-first attitude with a genuine desire to help people see and feel their best. Someone who is eager to master the entire patient care lifecycle — teching, glasses and contact lens sales, insurance billing, and everything in between. You don't need to know it all on day one, but you must be willing to learn. Flexibility and a positive attitude toward rotating between roles. If you prefer to stay in one lane, this isn't the right fit. Excellent communication skills — you're just as comfortable explaining insurance benefits as you are recommending a frame style. Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple tasks without dropping the ball. A collaborative team player who shows up, pitches in, and supports their coworkers. Fashion awareness and the confidence to make eyewear recommendations patients will love. A proactive mindset — you see what needs to be done and do it without being asked.
