Important Information
Optometrists in Oregon need to complete a total of 18 hours of continuing education each year, nine hours of which are in Treatment and Management of Ocular Disease (TMOD), and the rest can be general CE of your choosing. A few additional topics apply only in certain situations — see the asterisked items above.
Your renewal period runs one year and ends on the last day of your birth month — not your birthday itself. Complete all required hours before that date.
