The American Board of Ophthalmology (ABO) is a nonprofit organization that certifies eye doctors, called ophthalmologists, in the United States. It ensures that these specialists have met high standards of education, training, and expertise in eye care and vision health. By passing rigorous exams, certified ophthalmologists demonstrate their competence in diagnosing and treating eye diseases, performing surgeries, and prescribing vision correction. The ABO also promotes ongoing education to help these doctors stay current with medical advancements, ultimately ensuring that patients receive high-quality and effective eye care.
