Technicians
Technicians are trained to collect medical histories, administer eye medications, and perform tests that help ensure the accurate diagnosis and treatment of visual disorder and eye disease. They use sophisticated equipment, such as visual fields and optical coherence tomographies to gather information about a patient’s condition during eye examinations. They may also be called upon to assist with some eye care procedures using intricate technical instruments and equipment. They are usually in charge of making sure that the patient understands his or her diagnosis and the treatment that is prescribed by the optometrist.
Many of our technicians are also well trained in the area of contact lenses and participate in the insertion and removal training and education of new contact lens wearers. At McDonald Eye Care Associates we are experts in fitting those with specialized contact lens needs. We find success where others have failed and are willing to spend the amount of time necessary to ensure you are satisfied with your contact lens experience.
