What is the ABO Advanced Certification (ABOC-AC)?
The ABO Advanced Certification (ABOC-AC) is an advanced credential from the American Board of Opticianry that validates higher-level knowledge and skills in ophthalmic dispensing. It demonstrates that an optician has attained several years of experience, completed advanced education, and passed a rigorous examination covering advanced optics, prescription analysis, lens design, and professional standards.
What are the eligibility requirements for the ABO Advanced exam?
Candidates must hold an active basic ABO certification and have completed at least one recertification period (three years) before taking the Advanced exam. A candidate with a degree in Opticianry may test any time after passing the Basic exam by submitting proof of the degree. If a state licensing board adopts the Advanced exam for licensing, the state requirement supersedes these rules.
