Surgical Assistance: Collaborate closely with ophthalmologists to prepare patients for eye surgery and provide support during the procedures.
Patient and Family Education: Educate patients on their eye conditions, treatment plans, proper eye care techniques (like contact lens use), and lifestyle modifications to promote better eye health.
Administrative Tasks: Manage patient records, oversee clinic organization, and monitor medical equipment to ensure optimal functioning.
