Do you have staff who need additional training on optical skills or contact lens fitting skills? Vision Source members have exclusive access to education from both The American Board of Opticianry (ABO) and the National Contact Lens Examiners (NCLE) at The Exchange at no additional charge.

This education can be taken as individual courses where the staff need specialized training, or can be taken as an entire track of learning. The education will begin on Saturday morning, May 2, 2026. Whether it is Ophthalmic Optics for the optician or Pre-fitting and Dispensing Contact Lenses for the technician, staff who join are guaranteed to receive more specialized training that they can take back into the practice to be more effective.

These courses are great educational resources to prepare staff to sit for the national ABO Exam or NCLE Examinations, and the courses provide a great review for staff who want to gain additional training on these topics. Staff should register for the ABO and NCLE Prep Courses. There is no CE for the ABO and NCLE Prep Courses.
