The budget

Departments, Agencies and Offices to be closed on Friday,

The Maine State Board of Optometry was
established to protect the public through the regulation
of the practice of optometry in the State of Maine so
as to maintain high professional standards. The primary
responsibilities of the Board are to examine and license
qualified applicants to practice the profession of optometry
and to hold the title of Licensed Optometrist in the
State of Maine, upon payment of specified fees; to renew
all licenses annually upon payment of a specified fee
and presentation of evidence that the applicant has
attended an educational program approved by the Board;
and to revoke, refuse or suspend any license for violation
of the laws relating to optometry.
The Board investigates all complaints and cases of
non-compliance with optometrists laws, rules and regulations,
conducts hearings, and brings all such cases to the
notice of the proper prosecuting officer. It also enforces
standards established by law and makes such other reasonable
rules and regulations, consistent with the law, as the
Board deems necessary.
