Celebrating a Century of Public Service


One hundred years and 30,000 certificates later, the ABO continues to issue the public’s most trusted credential for specialty knowledge, skills, and experience in ophthalmology. Board certification has left a lasting impact on the quality and standards for training in ophthalmology and in the 23 other medical specialties who have since followed ophthalmology’s lead. The ABO celebrates all doctors who choose higher standards through board certification and looks forward to creating and nurturing an environment of professional collaboration as well set the standards for next 100 years.
