Benefit Verification Specialist

At Atlantic Eye Institute, our mission is to help our patients live their vision through exceptional, compassionate and honest eye care for every stage of life. And treat them like members of our family—because they are.

Living Our Vision:

They say seeing is believing. But we say it’s much more than that. Seeing is how the story of our life is told. A journey that unfolds through your very own eyes. A journey we’re on together, every step of the way—from a child’s first eye exam, to their first pair of glasses and contacts, to LASIK, and even cataracts, we help you see the world better at every stage in your life. Any age, any problem, any time, we will be there. That’s because at Atlantic Eye Institute we believe in the power of seeing things clearly.

Every vivid color. Every precise movement. Every memory. And so, our team remains committed to you, from the most advanced technology and personalized care to being available 24/7 and always doing the right thing. This is our vision for you: A world where seeing isn’t just believing; seeing clearly is living fully. That’s why at Atlantic Eye Institute, we not only help improve your vision—we help you Live Your Vision.
