About the Board of Optometry

Board Overview

The Iowa Board of Optometry evaluates the qualifications of applicants for licensure and grants licenses to those who qualify. The Board establishes rules and regulations to ensure the integrity and competence of licensed hearing aid specialists, and investigates complaints for unprofessional conduct. The Board is the link between the consumer and the licensees and, as such, promotes the public health, welfare and safety. Licensees are responsible for meeting all licensure requirements and should review the rules carefully and frequently.
