NEWARK – The Board of Examiners of Ophthalmic Dispenser and Ophthalmic Technicians has proposed new rules regarding continuing education requirements.

The proposal requires licensed ophthalmic dispensers to complete two credits of continuing education in laws and regulations governing the practice of ophthalmic dispensing and one credit on blood borne pathogens. Licensed ophthalmic dispensers will be limited to no more than two credits of continuing education in management, sales, or marketing.

The proposed amendments, and information on how to submit a comment by August 16, 2019, can be viewed here.
