4. Sufficient sinks with hot and cold running water
5. Separate receptacles for garbage and soiled linens
6. One chalkboard or whiteboard

A program will require a qualified instructor who is a Board-licensed cosmetologist or aesthetician, or a Board-registered eyelash technician. 

Ten (10) hours of preclinical theoretical instruction in:

• Eye structure
• Function and disorders of the eye and orbital areas
