    Prepare for ABO Optician Certification Online
    American Board of Opticianry (ABO) certification is the nationally recognized standard for certifying an optician’s qualifications. This 100% online course will teach you the terminology, calculations, and procedures opticians use to assess vision, evaluate corrective options and correct optical problems. Using a step-by-step methodology, you will prepare to test on key areas required by the ABO certification exam.

    Prerequisites:
    There are no prerequisites to take this course. However, a high school diploma or GED is required to take the ABO exam.

    Course Objectives
    Prepare to take and pass the American Board of Opticianry (ABO) exam
    Learn how to understand and assign prescriptions to customers
    Develop an understanding of the human eye and its functions
    Understand corrective eye care solutions available for patients
    Learn how prisms and lenses work

    Job Outlook for Opticians
    Due to an aging population and emerging technologies in vision correction and options in eyewear, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects robust opportunities for opticians. It expects job growth for opticians to expand by 7% between now and 2028, faster than average growth for all jobs.

    Opticians earned $37,840 on average for 2019, according to BLS data. PayScale.com notes that top opticians earn over $52,000 in pay and associated bonuses.

    Opticians overwhelmingly enjoy their work. Among 10,000 employees in more than 200 jobs surveyed by Business Insider, only opticians scored a 100% job satisfaction rate. The survey results noted that opticians incur less stress and enjoy the results of their work more than other professions.

    WHAT DO OPTICIANS DO?
    Opticians use data from prescriptions made by Optometrists or Ophthalmologists to help patients and customers fit glasses or contact lenses. They may take measurements of the ocular area, recommend appropriate frames or contact lenses and help fit and adjust frames or lenses as needed.

    Includes Materials: The instructional materials required for this course are included in enrollment and will be mailed to the student.
