The American Board of Ophthalmology is a credentialing organization in the hospitals and health care sector that sets independent standards for eye and vision care. It certifies ophthalmologists to demonstrate their knowledge, skills, and experience to patients and peers. Since 1916, more than 30,000 U.S. ophthalmologists have pursued board certification, with governance from physician-directors and three public directors, and standards and assessments developed by a network of more than 600 ophthalmology experts. Based in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, ABO operates with a small staff to maintain professional standards in ophthalmology. In 2020 it launched a COVID-19 response project to support Maintenance of Certification requirements, reflecting ongoing alignment with evolving practice standards. The organization serves ophthalmologists seeking formal credentialing as part of ongoing professional development in eye care.
