General optometry CE (per even-numbered two-year cycle)
40h

Confirmed against the WV Board of Optometry FAQ (optometry.wv.gov): 40 hours of CE per each even-numbered two-year cycle. The pre-2024 rule required 43 hours (WV Legislature regulatory review, 2018); the current 14 CSR 10 was refiled September 18, 2025, authorized by the 2026 Legislature, effective 4/3/2026 (WV SOS CSR search, rule 14-10). The Board's November 2025 notice flags a new basic life support (BLS) certification requirement taking effect for the 2026 CE reporting period — confirm applicability with the Board. Licensees log courses in OE Tracker; the Board audits all licensees every two years (2018 regulatory review).
