Suggest a Feature →Ophthalmic
Provides ophthalmic services including vision testing, contact lens fitting, and ophthalmic instrument maintenance at Air Force medical facilities. Assists optometrists and ophthalmologists with patient care and clinical procedures.
“You'll support optometry and ophthalmology services for Air Force personnel — vision testing, contact lens fittings, pre-surgical screenings. Ophthalmic technician and ophthalmic assistant certification pathways are available through professional organizations. Civilian optometry practices, ophthalmology clinics, and laser eye surgery centers all employ ophthalmic technicians.”
Ophthalmic work in the Air Force means supporting vision care in military treatment facilities — conducting refractions, fitting contacts, running pre-LASIK screenings for the large population of Airmen who want to meet flight physical vision standards. The COA (Certified Ophthalmic Assistant) or COT (Certified Ophthalmic Technician) credentials through JCAHPO are the civilian pathway. Civilian optometry and ophthalmology practices recruit from military ophthalmic backgrounds. The patient population at Air Force facilities includes the full range of ages served by the military healthcare system.
