About NCOS
Most doctors of optometry complete eight years of college: four years of premedical undergraduate education, earning a Bachelor of Science degree and four years of graduate education, earning a Doctorate in Optometry. In addition, many optometrists complete a one-year residency or fellowship program following graduation. Annual continuing education is mandatory for all optometrists to renew their license to practice.
