Ophthalmic technician, Hudson Valley Eye Surgeons Fishkill, NY. 20+ years experience, no license. Woefully underpaid- less than $25/hour I am mortified to admit. The retinologist I work with typically schedules 50 patients between 8am & 2:30pm. With a 3 tech team it is tough, but doable. For several months it’s been just me and one other technician. Please help me negotiate compensation that reflects my value as well as a bonus for grinding through this especially grueling last quarter.

My daughter is a licensed optician working for a lens manufacturer. She develops trainings. She managed a retail store before this job. She went from what you are making to $38/hr just by getting her license. Now she makes just over $90k a year. Getting her license made a huge difference. If you are assisting with procedures you are severely underpaid.
