Makiya Salter
I am an optician with experience in both eyeglasses and contact lenses. I have five years of optical experience, and can assist with working both in a doctor's office setting as well as on the retail floor. I am very knowledgeable in insurance verification, for both exams and material benefits. I can read and understand doctor's rx, as well as give beneficial recommendations on lens options based off of patient's prescriptions. I am able to accurately verify prescriptions using a lensometer to ensure that lenses are made correctly to doctor rx as well. I am a dependable team player with excellent communication and customer service skills, and I will ensure that not only will patient's experience be smooth and memorable, but also that store procedures are handled efficiently as well.
