The Opportunity

At Eyes of NM, we believe that selecting eyewear is more than a transaction—it’s a clinical and aesthetic transformation. We are seeking an Optical Stylist/Optician who is passionate about fashion, technology, and patient care.

In this role, you aren’t just selling frames; you are prescribing the visual tools that help our patients succeed in school, at work, and in life. Whether you are an experienced ABO‑certified optician or a retail professional with an eye for style and a heart for service, we will provide the training and environment for you to excel.

Our Core Values: SIGHT

• Growth: Staying at the forefront of lens technology and frame trends.
• Humbly Confident: Sharing your expertise to guide patients with ease.
• Thankfulness: Appreciating the trust our community places in us.

What You’ll Do

• Curate the Look: Act as a personal stylist, helping patients select frames from our curated collection that match their face shape, style, and personality.
• Expert Prescribing: Translate clinical prescriptions into high-performance lens solutions (Digital progressives, blue-light protection, anti‑fatigue lenses, and premium sunwear).
• Precision Fitting: Take accurate measurements and perform custom adjustments to ensure every patient leaves with a "perfect fit."
• Inventory Management: Help manage our 400‑frame board, ensuring our 45% Women / 30% Men / 25% Kids mix remains fresh and exciting.
• Laboratory Coordination: Work with our lab partners to ensure orders are accurate and delivered on time.

Who You Are

• A Style Authority: You have an eye for fashion and a knack for helping people feel confident in their glasses.
• Technically Curious: You want to understand the "why" behind lens designs and how they improve a patient’s quality of life.
• Service-Driven: You thrive on creating a "Signature Experience" that turns patients into lifelong advocates.
• Detail-Oriented: You understand that in optics, a millimeter makes a difference.

Why Join Eyes of NM?

• Better Balance: A consistent Monday–Friday schedule. No nights or weekends.
• Professional Growth: Support for ABO certification and continuing education in specialty optics.
• Modern Environment: Work with a growth-minded team in a practice that values high-level care over high-volume sales.
