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

If you love eyecare, love people, and want to be part of a growing practice that’s raising the bar in Northern Virginia — we want you on the team!
