Welcome to Oregon Board of Optometry

The Oregon Board of Optometry (OBO) is the regulating body for the practice of optometry in Oregon. OBO adopts rules and policies related to the practice of optometry in Oregon. Our mission is to protect the people of the state of Oregon from the dangers of unqualified and improper practice of optometry.

The Board's licensing system and portals will be unavailable from Monday November 18, 2024 through Sunday November 23, 2024 as we migrate to the new system. Please plan any activity around that blackout period.
