Promoting Vision Health Across Texas
The Texas Optometry Board (TOB) promotes and protects the health and welfare of Texans by regulating the practice of optometry. We license and regulate optometrists, establish and enforce practice standards, and provide guidance to both professionals and the public. Whether you’re a licensed optometrist, a prospective applicant, or a Texas resident seeking information about eye care, the TOB is your trusted source for up-to-date information, resources, and support.
