The American Board of Ophthalmology (ABO) is an independent, non-profit organization responsible for certifying ophthalmologists (eye physicians and surgeons) in the United States of America.
Founded in 1916, the ABO was the first American Board established to certify medical specialists.
Certification by the American Board of Ophthalmology is a voluntary process that involves a written and an oral examination. A candidate who successfully passes both the written qualifying and oral examinations becomes a Board Certified Diplomate of the American Board of Ophthalmology and is entitled to use the letters D.A.B.O. after his or her name.
