Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) certification requirements for optometric licensure were obtained from 49 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. It was found that 17 percent of the states required CPR certification for optometric licensure while 11 percent required certification to maintain licensure. For initial Diagnostic Pharmaceutical Agents (DPA) licensing 44 percent of the boards required CPR certification while less than 25 percent required maintaining that certification to sustain DPA licensure. Of those states having Therapeutic Pharmaceutical Agents (TPA) legislation, 36 percent required CPR certification for initial licensure but only 8 percent of them required maintenance of certification for license renewal. Optometry can take the lead in health care by requiring CPR certification for all forms of licensure and license renewal.
从49个州、哥伦比亚特区和波多黎各获取了验光师执照心肺复苏术（CPR）认证要求。结果发现，17%的州要求验光师执照需有CPR认证，而11%的州要求通过认证来维持执照。对于初始诊断用药物制剂（DPA）许可，44%的委员会要求有CPR认证，而要求维持该认证以维持DPA许可的不到25%。在有治疗用药物制剂（TPA）立法的州中，36%要求初始许可要有CPR认证，但其中只有8%要求在执照续期时维持认证。验光行业可以通过要求所有形式的执照颁发和执照续期都要有CPR认证，在医疗保健领域发挥带头作用。
