***Legislation passed during the 2025 West Virginia Legislative Session requires that all new Optometry license applicants be laser certified. The Board is reviewing the new requirements and regulations and will provide more information as soon as possible for new applicants as well as current licensees who would like to become Laser Certified in West Virginia. The new legislation and requirements will go into effect in July. As soon as details are avaiable they will be posted on our website. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please contact the Board.***
