ABO Review

The ABO Review Course is designed to help you prepare for the American Board of Opticianry (ABO) exam and other state board exams. While this is a useful course for ABO test preparation, it is also a valuable office staff and technician training course. There will be a series of four classes held on Thursday evenings at Midland Optical.
