Who We Are Looking For

Technical ability is important, but personality and patient care are equally important to us.

We want someone who treats patients with kindness and respect, communicates clearly, works efficiently, and is willing to help other members of the team when needed. Many of our patients are seniors or are preparing for eye surgery, so patience, compassion, and the ability to make patients feel comfortable are essential.

We are looking for someone who wants to become a long-term member of our team rather than simply fill a position.

Why Join Anaheim Eye Institute?

Our practice provides comprehensive ophthalmic care with an emphasis on advanced medical and surgical eye care. Our technicians have the opportunity to work with sophisticated diagnostic technology and gain experience with patients undergoing cataract surgery, premium lens surgery, refractive procedures, glaucoma treatment, retinal care, and comprehensive ophthalmology.

We value excellent patient care, professionalism, teamwork, efficiency, and attention to detail.
