Our Role
The College of Opticians of British Columbia is the regulatory body for opticians in BC. The College regulates opticianry* by ensuring Licensed Opticians are qualified to practice and that they are consistently providing safe and ethical care to their patients. The College is not a school.
The College was established in 1994 under the
Health Professions Act
and has a duty to serve and protect the public interest by overseeing the conduct and competence of Licensed Opticians. The College also sets and enforces practice standards and responds to complaints when standards are not being met.
