Job Description
At Chadwick Optical, we're collaborating to build a new model for low vision care - where patients can get real help for their conditions through a close collaboration between their examining and prescribing OD, the optician, and a highly experienced optical lab. Your patients will already be under an OD or MD's care for primary care, injections, etc and you will be able to review their current care records. They will be prescreened for their visual expectations and goals before their appointment so you have a better understanding of the patient and they have realistic expectations of their visit too. This is not a "how many patients can you see in an hour" type of grind. You will have adequate time to take care of the patient in front of you, really hear them and render thoughtful solutions. In addition to seeing patients, there is an expectation to participate in local events, share information about the practice with local retirement communities and other potential referral sources.

A strong curiosity and a desire to do amazing things is a far more important attribute.
