You will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team, including ophthalmologists, optometrists, nurses, and administrative staff, to ensure seamless patient care and efficient clinical operations.
The successful candidate will demonstrate exceptional surgical precision, strong clinical judgment, and excellent communication skills. You will educate patients and their families about cataract conditions, surgical procedures, potential risks, and expected outcomes, ensuring informed consent and patient comfort throughout the treatment process.
Continuous professional development is essential in this role.
