What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an ophthalmology role where I can deliver outstanding patient care and accuracy—using OCT, visual fields, and IOL Master—while supporting physicians with patient education, clinical assistance, and strong documentation.

I’m an Ophthalmic Technician and Scribe with over 10 years of experience providing exceptional patient care and delivering high-quality medical services. I’m motivated, organized, and focused on accurate, patient-centered support across the ophthalmology workflow.

In my current role at NYU Langone Department of Ophthalmology, I use advanced ophthalmology tools and skills, with an emphasis on OCT, visual fields, and IOL Master. I schedule cataract surgery aftercare and education, administer refraction, and provide extensive contact lens knowledge and instructions, while supporting non-invasive procedures and obtaining consent forms as necessary.

Previously at Northwell Health and other ophthalmology practices, I assisted physicians with medical record documentation, transcribed histories and exams, and supported treatment plan documentation under physician direction. I also handled clinical support and administrative medical records coordination (including visual acuity, treatments, and diagnostic care), while maintaining sterile technique and infection control during laser and minor surgical assistance.
