The process of certification involves 1) application, 2) case reports, 3) interview and 4) written/oral and clinical examination. Certification is a process of self-education. Thus, it is not necessary to complete all parts of the process at any one time.

Upload a description of your experience in low vision care, including special experiences such as residencies, papers, courses, teaching, etc.
