Why Join Modern Eyes?

At Modern Eyes, great eye care starts with kindness, trust, and truly listening. We are a friendly, local eyecare practice combining personalized care, modern technology, and independent eyewear.

You’ll be part of a supportive small team built on compassion, curiosity, and collaboration, with opportunities to develop your technical, styling, troubleshooting, and patient-care skills. We value growth and recognize reliability, skill development, and teamwork.

  • Working with the Optometrist and patient care team, the Optician guides patients from prescription to finished eyewear, including frame and lens selection, order management, dispensing, repairs, and troubleshooting.

    Modern Eyes is not a high-pressure sales environment. We focus on education, trust, accuracy, and personalized recommendations. We are looking for a Massachusetts-licensed optician with a strong technical foundation, warm communication skills, attention to detail, and pride in their work. This role is well suited to an early-career optician who wants to take on greater responsibility over time.

    This is a full-time, 40-hour/week position with a Tuesday–Saturday schedule. No Sundays, late evenings, or major holiday work.

  • Someone compassionate, energetic, detail-oriented, eager to learn, and comfortable discussing eyewear, insurance, and fees will thrive. If you enjoy helping patients find frames and lenses they truly love, solving problems, and being part of a collaborative team, you'll truly shine.

  • As you grow in the role, you’ll have opportunities to deepen your technical skills and participate in complex troubleshooting, frame selection, vendor relationships, inventory planning, and optical workflow improvements.
