Welcome to the Opticians of Manitoba Website!

The Opticians of Manitoba (OOM) has been in existence since 1953 and is the regulatory body for Opticians in the province of Manitoba. Opticianry is a regulated health profession under the Opticians Act and all persons holding themselves out as Opticians in Manitoba must be registered members of OOM to practice. The mandate of the OOM is public protection through the self-regulation of the practice of Opticianry. The OOM sets standards of practice for the profession and ensures that Opticians practice safely and competently and investigate concerns raised about registrants’ practice.
