Summary
Experienced Ophthalmic Technician with many years in the eye care field. I began my journey as an optician in Korea in 2004. In Korea, opticians are optometrists, so opticians get jobs at ophthalmology clinics and do the work of optometrists. I joined Nune Eye Hospital in 2009, where I gained extensive hands-on experience in ophthalmic testing and patient care. After relocating to the U.S. in 2012, I worked at an optical shop until March 2021, further developing my skills in patient service, optical measurements, and product fitting. In August 2021, I joined Eye Care Med Corp, where I worked until November 2024, assisting in advanced diagnostic testing and supporting the clinical team. Skilled in operating ophthalmic instruments, performing visual exams, and maintaining patient records with keen attention to detail. Passionate about patient care, I am dedicated to supporting ophthalmologists and providing exceptional service to patients in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
