What is required for therapeutic certification in Hawaii?
Therapeutically certified optometrists must complete a 100-hour Board-approved course in ocular disease treatment, pass the NBEO TMOD exam, and complete 100 hours of preceptorship under an ophthalmologist who certifies competency.
What CE hours does Hawaii require?
TPA-certified optometrists need 36 hours biennially (all in ocular disease diagnosis/treatment). Non-TPA optometrists need 32 hours. Maximum 9 hours may be asynchronous for TPA and 8 for non-TPA.
What prescribing authority do Hawaii TPA optometrists have?
Therapeutically certified optometrists may prescribe topical and oral medications for ocular diseases, plus controlled substances in Schedules III, IV, and V. DEA registration is required. Injectable agents are not allowed except for anaphylaxis.
When must Hawaii optometry licenses be renewed?
Hawaii optometry licenses must be renewed by December 31 of each odd-numbered year. Failure to pay the biennial fee and submit CE proof by this date automatically forfeits the license.
What referral obligations do Hawaii optometrists have?
Hawaii optometrists must refer patients when they find ocular abnormalities or systemic disease evidence requiring diagnosis or treatment beyond their scope to an appropriate licensed physician.
