This question comes up frequently...
I know during Covid we were allowed to get all of our credits with you guys, but is it still the same post Covid and we can spend all the 30 hours on your site ?

The answer is... I don't know. I went to the Board's web site, it was confusing. But this document is still up:
https://www.dos.pa.gov/ProfessionalLicensing/BoardsCommissions/Optometry/Documents/Board Documents/OptoM - Optometry CE Requirements.pdf
it looks like 15 hours of online stuff at least is allowed, but I'm not sure based on that document.
I recommend you contact the board -- you should ask them what the ARBO category "Synchronous Virtual" counts as -- this is a new designation as of 2022, implying that you're watching something on the internet, but the speaker is there live to answer questions from you in real-time. That's how our live events are categorized.
