Please note the pay range for this position is $18-$22/hr.

About the Opportunity

Working Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, you have the opportunity to join a multi-site, multispecialty, state of the art group of providers that was founded in 1984. Over the past four decades DLP Eye Clinic has treated more than 400,000 patients! Some Saturday availability from 7:00 am to 3:30 pm is required, and there is frequently an opportunity for overtime.

Ophthalmic Technicians do tasks that the eye care provider can delegate to others.
