Edge Optics Summer Internship Program: Growing Talent in Eye Care & Marketing

This past summer, Edge Optics proudly welcomed four interns into our annual internship program—two social media marketing interns and two optometric technician interns. From June through August 2025, these interns became part of the Edge Optics family, bringing fresh ideas, positive energy, and a strong passion for learning. Their work made a real impact on our clinic and our community, and we are excited to share a look into their experience!

Hands-On Learning in Eye Care

Our optometric technician interns jumped right into the world of optometry and eye care. Under the guidance of our experienced team, they learned essential skills such as patient pre-testing, best practices for clinic flow, and how to create a welcoming first impression for every patient who walks through our doors.

This hands-on training not only supported our team throughout a busy summer—it also gave our interns valuable experience that will help them pursue future careers in health care and optometry.

Creative Growth in Social Media Marketing

Meanwhile, our social media marketing interns worked behind the scenes to help shape the digital voice of Edge Optics. They produced engaging short-form video content, wrote blog posts, and helped us stay active and connected on our social media platforms.

Their creativity helped us better share what makes Edge Optics unique: our local roots, our love for stylish eyewear, and our commitment to high-quality, eco-friendly eye care.

A Summer of Mentorship, Teamwork & Community

One of the highlights of the program was watching each intern grow throughout the summer. Our team is passionate about mentorship and providing real-world experience in a positive, inclusive environment. We believe in giving students the opportunity to develop skills that matter—whether they’re in the clinic working with patients or behind the screen building our brand presence online.
