At Asda Opticians, there is nothing more important than the health and wellbeing of our customers. Our priority is to always put them first by delivering high-quality patient care and service.
A typical day involves completing eye examinations, contact lens fittings, and extended service examinations. You will work alongside our Dispensing Optician Manager to support training, coaching, and maintaining departmental standards.
