Vision therapists employed by Fellows are eligible to become Certified Optometric Vision Therapists (COVTs).
To be eligible for application to the COVT process, you must have experience working in a vision therapy office setting for a minimum of 2,000 hours, or 1,000 hours with possession of a relevant behavioral degree.
The process involves submitting responses to a series of Guided Study Open Book Questions on various clinical topics and successfully completing a multiple choice written examination and oral interview. Once you have applied for certification as an optometric vision therapist, you have up to four years to complete the certification process.
