Optometry Staffing
Hire a Remote Optometry Assistant
The average optometry practice loses 12 billable hours per week to administrative tasks that pull clinical staff away from patients. A remote optometry assistant handles pre-testing coordination, patient intake, and appointment prep so your in-office team stays focused on exams and fittings. Practices that add remote support typically see 15-20% more patients per week without adding chair time.

FAQ
Common Questions About Remote Optometry Assistants
They don't perform clinical pre-tests. They handle everything surrounding the pre-test: confirming the appointment, verifying insurance eligibility, sending digital intake forms, pulling prior exam records into the chart, and flagging patients who need dilation or special testing. Your in-office tech walks into a fully prepped lane.
You set the schedule. Most practices match their office hours, but some extend coverage to handle after-hours calls, Saturday recall outreach, or early-morning appointment confirmations. The assistant works your hours, not a call center's.
Most practices are matched with a trained assistant within 5-7 business days. We assess your practice size, software stack, and workflow before recommending a candidate. You interview them before any commitment.
