Early registration of optometrists urged
People practising as optometrists but have not yet applied for registration are reminded to do so without delay.
A spokesman for the Secretariat of the Optometrists Board said all practising optometrists were required by law to be registered by April 1, 1996.
"Although applications for registration will continue to be accepted, the Optometrists Board may not have sufficient time to complete the registration procedures before April 1, 1996, if applications are submitted at too late a stage," the spokesman said today (Monday).
As for provisional registration, the spokesman said this was a one-off exercise and applications would only be accepted until May 31 this year.
"Late applications for provisional registration will not be considered and those who have applied for provisional registration are deemed to be registered until the results of their applications are known," he added.
Application forms and a "guide to applicants" booklet which contains details on the required qualifications and application procedures are obtainable from the Secretariat of the Optometrists Board at Wu Chung House, 17th floor, 213 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai.
Enquiries can be made on 2961 8656 or 2961 8646.
