Optometry

The Association of Regulatory Boards of Optometry (ARBO) has provided resources to regulatory boards of optometry throughout North America since 1919. Boards of optometry serve as the licensing and regulatory arm of the optometric profession by formulating rules, or regulations, that govern and enforce the laws that grant the privilege to practice optometry, which are enacted by state legislatures.

The Board of Registration of Optometrists licenses optometrists in Massachusetts. It establishes rules and regulations to ensure the integrity and competence of licensed optometrists.

They serve the public and the profession of optometry by developing, administering, scoring, and reporting results of valid examinations that assess competence.
