OD Info

CAO offers a program, which recognizes practices whose optometric assistants are 100% Canadian Certified Optometric Assistants (includes staff currently enrolled in the Optometric Assistant Course). If you believe that your practice qualifies, please download the application, complete it, and send it to:

Lise Loyer, National Director, OA Course
Canadian Association of Optometrists
234 Argyle Avenue
Ottawa, ON K2P 1B9

OR

fax it to 613-235-2098.

Once CAO has processed your application, an attractive certificate suitable for display will be sent to you. Please note that the certificate will be valid for a three-year period, and you must reapply to receive a new one at the end of the three-year period.

This is a no-fee benefit to CAO members.
