Job description

At Aloha Vision Consultants, we’re dedicated to delivering exceptional eye care while creating a welcoming, supportive experience for every patient who walks through our doors. Led by Dr. Carlton Yuen and Dr. Jason Tokunaga, our team works closely together to provide accurate diagnostics, efficient clinical support, and top‑tier care. We pride ourselves on building an environment centered around professionalism, mutual respect, and continuous learning.

About the Ophthalmic Technician Role

As an Ophthalmic Technician on our team, you’ll work directly alongside Dr. Yuen, Dr. Tokunaga, Dr. Rhys Ishihara, our Optometrists (Dr. Julie Ann Komo, and Dr. Joanne Soriano), and our clinical team to support patients through every step of their visit. On a typical day, you’ll guide patients through pre‑exam testing, take medical histories, measure visual acuity, perform specialized diagnostic imaging (like fundus photography), and record visits in our electronic health record system.

You’ll also help keep our exam rooms prepped, educate patients on their care plans, and keep clinic flow moving smoothly across our O’ahu locations. Whether you come to us with prior clinic experience or are eager to learn from the ground up, you'll play a vital role in delivering safe, compassionate, and efficient patient care.

• Documentation & Scribe Skills: Strong attention to detail when recording exam findings, patient histories, and treatment plans in the medical record.
• Communication & Empathy: Great interpersonal skills and a respectful, clear approach to communicating with patients and teammates.
• Adaptability & Initiative: Comfort in a fast‑paced environment, a willingness to ask questions, and a drive to continuously learn and improve.

Why Join Aloha Vision Consultants?

• Hands‑on Experience: You’ll develop practical clinical skills while working side‑by‑side with experienced ophthalmologists, optometrists, and technicians.
• Dedicated Mentorship: All new hires receive paid, structured on‑the‑job training. We don't expect you to know everything on day one—we value curiosity and accountability, and we’re here to help you succeed.
• Supportive Culture: We foster an environment grounded in teamwork, continuous learning, and patient respect.
