§ 54.1-3214. When license issued without examination
Any person who has successfully passed an examination in optometry in any state of the United States and is the holder of a license to that effect, issued by the board of such state, and has conducted an ethical professional practice of optometry for at least one year, may, upon application to the Board of Optometry, be issued a license without examination.
The Board may recognize such examinations if they are approximately equivalent to its examination, the applicant's educational qualifications are equivalent to those required in this Commonwealth, the applicant has not failed an examination in optometry in Virginia, and the state from which the applicant comes grants reciprocity to persons licensed in the Commonwealth.
