The Board for Opticians was established in 1954 to regulate individuals who fit and sell prescription glasses and contact lenses. The Board licenses persons practicing or offering to practice as opticians in the Commonwealth. The Dept. of Professional and Occupational Regulation provides administrative support to the board. In 2012, the Board was merged with the Board for Hearing Aid Specialists to create the Board for Hearing Aid Specialists and Opticians.
These records are part of the Virginia Dept. of Professional and Occupational Regulation record group (R.G.# 17)
