About the Board

The budget for the Maine State Government requires executive branch Departments, Agencies and Offices to be closed on Friday, August 7th. Many services offered by the Department of Professional and Financial Regulations are always available here at www.maine.gov/pfr.

The Maine State Board of Optometry was established in 1909 as the State Board of Registration and Examination in Optometry and received its present name in October 1973. The Board consists of six members appointed by the Governor for terms of five years. Five of the members must be resident optometrists engaged in actual practice for a period of at least five years prior to their appointment. The sixth member must be a consumer member having no pecuniary interest in optometry or optical products. The Board annually elects a president and secretary-treasurer from its members. The Board meets six times a year at the offices of Professional and Financial Regulation, 122 Northern Ave., Gardiner, Maine. The Board administers the exam twice a year, in February and in August.
