Why join Children’s Eye Care’s Orthoptic Team?

Children’s Eye Care is one of the largest pediatric ophthalmology practices which offers the combination of private practice, teaching and academics. We are looking for a dynamic pediatric ophthalmic technician to join our Clinton Twp, Dearborn and West Bloomfield teams.

Children’s Eye Care was founded in the early 1970s and continues to grow. The professional staff consists of 8 pediatric ophthalmologists and 9 orthoptists over four locations. Three locations are private clinics located throughout metropolitan Detroit. The academic clinic is located in Detroit at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. Children’s Eye Care’s academic clinic is privately owned and consists of training (26) residents from all four residency programs in Detroit and (50) students from two medical schools. We also have an AUPO certified pediatric ophthalmology fellowship as well as an AOC approved orthoptic program. Our practice is also involved in research projects and very involved in our national and regional communities.

The diversity of our practice, which includes both an urban hospital and suburban private practice locations, allows us the opportunity to practice the full scope of pediatric ophthalmology and adult strabismus issues.

As a privately owned group pediatric ophthalmology practice, we have the privilege of working with a close group of peers that all have the same goals in medical care and business development as well as teaching and community involvement.
