TinkBird Healthcare Staffing is actively seeking a BC Optometrist in Butner, NC for a role to start as soon as possible.

Scope: Routine eye exam clinics, diagnosis of eye common eye conditions, follow up vision exams, etc. In general, optometrists will treat vision problems and certain eye diseases such as conjunctivitis or corneal infections. Optometrists use instruments and observation to examine eye health and to test patients' visual acuity, depth and color perception, and their ability to focus and coordinate the eyes. They analyze test results and develop a treatment plan. Optometrists prescribe eyeglasses, contact lenses, vision therapy, and low vision aids. Optometrists often provide postoperative care to cataract patients. When optometrists diagnose conditions that require care beyond the optometry scope of practice such as diabetes or high blood pressure, they refer patients to other health practitioners

o During a lockdown, patient movement will be impacted (patients will be unable to attend appointments during lockdown), though providers have never been unable to leave during a lockdown over our 20 years at the facility).
