You may want to petition the NC State Board of Opticianry to see if they will allow you to sit for the state board exam. However, they may require you to take the ABO and NCLE exams before sitting for the exam. If you do have to take the ABO and NCLE, I'm sure you will pass, they're not that hard. Don't waste time; Try to get to your license ASAP. However, if you work on a military base, you are not required to have a state license. Good luck!
