It is just best to bite the bullet and pay the money for the books at NAO. They have one (Iforget the name) the contact lens book or something I forget the name, its about $85.00 and the Residents contact lens book thats about $101. They are pricey but they are a great investment, you will definatley be referring to them alot.
The National Academy of Opticianry has great resources for both ABO and NCLE. Their website is www.nao.org or you may contact them at 800-229-4828. I would suggest joining them as you get better prices for all of their study materials. What they do is education...no politics.
The Contact Lens Manual: A Comprehensive Study and Reference Guide is the beginning to great study. The companion to that would be the Test Review for Contact Lens Technicians. Both of these are available through NAO or you can get them from the Contact Lens Society of America (CLSA). Another great small quick study is the CLAO Pocket Guide to Contact Lens Fitting, which is available through NAO or through CLAO.
CLAS also has a study module that you may want to check into. Contact CLSA at clsa@patriot.net. Go to their website at www.clsa.info.
If you get an opportunity to attend a review course, that would also be helpful. I just did one at SECO in Atlanta, but I'm sure there are others around the country. You may contact CLSA as well about that.
Hope some of this information is helpful.

Hi Clinton,
Welcome to Optiboard. The 2 books that I purchased from www.nao.org were Contact Lens Society of America books
1) Contact Lens Manual ~ A Comprehensive Study and Reference Guide Volume 1
2) Test Review For Contact Lens Technician
Both of these books came in very handy when taking the basic NCLE examination.
www.quantumoptical.com has online NCLE review course with questions.

for me -
we have always tought our associates - with the nao - study material - along with the cds-
i can only say - it is very clear - and to the point - to ensure passage of the ncle
now i am not saying this is the only material needed to be proficiant in your job as a fitter - ( far from it ) - however providing the info needed to pass the exam - i think it is perfect -
in the last 3 years - we have had 28 assocaites take the exam - and 23 passed - and of those - 20 scored higher then 90%
a bit pricey - but well worth it for anyone not involved with contacts now -
