Part 1
Supreme Vision (Eye Clinic), Abuja
The Code of Conduct for Optometrists and
Dispensing opticians, Part 1 section 4, The
Optometrist Oath, Paragraph 7, stated that:
“Iwill strive continuously to broaden my
knowledge and skills so that my patients may
benefit from all new and efficacious means to
enhance the care of human vision
”In view of the above mention code of conduct,
The Optometrist & Dispensing Opticians
Registration Board of Nigeria (ODORBN) has
stated that all licensed optometrists in Nigeria
must participate in a recognized revalidation
process in which they demonstrate their
commitment to continued competent
performance in a framework that is fair,
relevant, inclusive, transferable, and formative.
The Continuing Education Program (CEP)
initiated by the Optometrist and Dispensing
Optician Board started about 4 years ago or
more. For some time now, registration and
accrual of stipulated number of points are
necessary for renewal of practicing license.
Recent finding has indicated that most NOA
members inAbuja are not abreast of what CPD
is all about. It is quite imperative for NOA FCT
to properly enlighten its members on this.
Hence the topic is expected to properly
educate and bring the activities of the newly
inaugurated 2011 Continuing Professional
Development Committee to the lime light.
