OPAT…..Designed for you and your future.

 

 

 

The OPAT Program proudly announces cooperation with the AOA Commission on Paraoptometric Certification (CPC) to allow OPAT Level One graduates to take the AOA Paraoptometric Section Level 2 exam.

OPAT, the Optometric Assistant and Technician Program, has been developed over the last three years to upgrade the professionalism and competency level of eye care staff and to give successful students in the program meaningful professional credentials. To date, more than 2,000 eyecare staff are participating in the program.

Designed to help staff provide enhanced patient care, OPAT will be presented nationwide in 2003 at major optometric-based meetings at both regional and state levels. For a listing of OPAT presentations in your area, check out the Schedule of Events.

Developed by the Indiana University School of Optometry, OPAT offers students three levels of achievement. The educational program is taught by professors and instructors associated with schools and colleges of optometry, making the completion of each level more meaningful to both staff and practitioners. Students can progress at their own pace through the program. Find out more details About OPAT.
