Re: Update ā OOM records re opticiansā places of employment and License of Record Information
The Opticians of Manitoba is now in the process of updating our records and request that you complete the attached form for the dispensary.
If you are an optometric practice, we realize that you are not required to provide this information to us but we would still request that you do so about the opticians that you employ, so that we can ensure our records regarding opticiansā places of employment is correct.
Please attach any policies and or procedures that you have in place which address the operations of the dispensary when there is no Licensed Optician or Contact Lens Licensed Optician on the premises.
In keeping with the bylaws of the OOM, a written response to this enquiry must be received within ten (10) days of receipt of this letter and no later than JANUARY 31, 2018. Please mail the completed form to the contact information noted below. Please do not fax or email the form as original signatures are required.
Please note that all Licenses of Record, Licensed Opticians and dispensaries where optical dispensing is carried out must comply with the following OOM bylaws and the policy on Licensing. Effective March 1, 2017 the OOM Council has approved a penalty of $100.00 for each occurrence of non- compliance by an optician or dispensary with any of these bylaws or the policy.
This can be done by telephone, fax, email or in person at the OOM office.
Ā This can be done by telephone, fax, email or in person at the OOM office.
All licenses of record/ managers/ owners must check to ensure that every licensed optician employed in the dispensary has a valid license for 2018. The validity and expiry dates for the 2018 licenses appear in the area shaded blue at the bottom of the opticiansā 2018 license cards. Each student working in the dispensary must also display a valid student registration card for 2018. You can also check the status of an opticianās license by callingĀ or emailing the office at 204-222-8404, oom@optm.ca or by going to the Opticians of Manitoba website opticiansofmanitoba.ca. Click on Find an Optician on the Home Page and the 2018Ā Directory of Opticians will open. Click on the brown box labelled Find in the lower right hand corner. An alphabetical list will appear of all of the Opticians in Manitoba. The list includes their status and contact information.
It is up to each dispensary to select the format/design, size, colour etc. for the sign that they wish to display however at a minimum the sign must state that āThe License of Record/Manager of the Dispensary is (the name of the optician)ā If a dispensary would like to use the enclosed template for their sign however, they can contact the OOM office or order their sign directly from the designer at milton@onebranddesign.net
If a memberās license card is lost or damaged, a replacement can be obtained by contacting the OOM office by phone at (204) 222-8404 or by email oom@optm.ca
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us and thank you for your cooperation.
