National Optometric Examination

The National Optometric Examination (NOE) is a comprehensive test administered to individuals seeking licensure as optometrists in the United States. It evaluates knowledge and skills in areas such as ocular health, visual science, diagnosis, and treatment of eye conditions. The exam ensures that future optometrists meet professional standards for patient care and safety. Typically, it includes multiple-choice questions and case-based scenarios covering a wide range of topics relevant to eye health and vision correction. Successfully passing the NOE is a key step toward obtaining a license to practice optometry legally and competently.
