Timely Care, Growth, and Compassion

Are you a Veterinary Technician who is passionate about ensuring pets maintain healthy vision and receive top-notch care for their eye-related issues? At Metropolitan Veterinary Associates (MVA) , we understand that skilled and caring ophthalmology technicians play an essential role in treating ocular conditions and improving the quality of life for our patients. Our supportive, energetic environment allows you to refine your clinical skills while making a real impact in veterinary eye health.

Our Mission

Our goal is simple but profound : to improve the lives of pets, their families, and our community by providing compassionate, high-quality specialty and emergency care. If you share our passion for animal well-being and collaborative teamwork, we’d love you to explore this opportunity.

Who We Are

  • We are a leading specialty and emergency hospital , housed in a state-of-the-art 25,000-square-foot facility equipped to handle a wide range of complex cases.
  • With 13 specialty departments —including Internal Medicine, Surgery, Emergency & Critical Care, Cardiology, and more—our collaborative team approach ensures comprehensive care for every patient.
  • Our culture is anchored in continuous learning, mentorship, and mutual support , creating an environment where you can grow alongside experts in their fields.

What You’ll Do

As a Veterinary Ophthalmology Technician at MVA, you’ll assist our Ophthalmologist and the entire care team in diagnosing and managing various eye conditions. Your responsibilities will include :

  • Preparing patients for examinations and procedures, including dilating pupils, administering topical medications, and ensuring patient comfort.
  • Collecting thorough patient histories and performing initial ocular exams, such as measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) and assessing tear production.
  • Assisting with specialized diagnostics like slit-lamp biomicroscopy, tonometry, and ocular ultrasound, as directed by the Ophthalmologist.
  • Monitoring anesthesia and sedation , if needed for procedures like electroretinography (ERG) or surgery.
  • Providing post-procedural care , including medications, ocular discharge clean-up, and instructions for at-home care.
  • Maintaining accurate and detailed records of diagnostics, treatments, and patient progress to ensure continuity of care.
  • Fostering a clean, organized workspace , ensuring that ophthalmic instruments and supplies are readily available and properly maintained.
  • Participating in ongoing training and case discussions , staying current with the latest ophthalmic techniques and best practices.
  • We don’t just get through the workday; we embrace the challenges and triumphs that come with providing advanced critical care. You’ll be surrounded by professionals who share your commitment to excellence and a genuine passion for animal welfare.

    Anticipated Schedule

    We are currently hiring for two full-time Ophthalmology positions , each with its own schedule :

  • Position 1 : Tuesday, Thursday, Friday – 7 : 00 AM to 7 : 00 PM
  • Position 2 : Monday–Thursday – 7 : 00 AM to 5 : 00 PM
  • Compensation

  • Starting at $23.00 / hour
  • What’s in It for You?

    At MVA, we take care of our team in the same way we care for our patients—wholeheartedly. We offer :

  • Supportive culture with social events & team-building activities
  • Competitive paid time off & holiday pay
  • Paid volunteer time off
  • Education Assistance Program & tuition reimbursement?
  • Career growth & training opportunities to help you advance your skills and knowledge supported by our dedicated Education and Development team.

  • Pet adoption reimbursement?
  • 401(k) plan with a strong employer match
  • Significant employee pet care discount
  • Annual uniform allowance so you’re always prepared for the next case
  • A workplace where you’ll feel valued, heard, and excited to come to work each day
  • We know changing jobs can be a big step. We treat every interview as confidential , and if you’d prefer an informal conversation first, we’re happy to do that. We genuinely love what we do and welcome the chance to share our passion with you!
