Hi! I have been an Optician for over twenty years. Started my career in the lab and I have pretty much done everything from Prelim to billing insurance to fixing all the office equipment and computers. I also live in Indiana and have worked in Illinois quite a bit. My husband and I are relocating our family to Florida. First question: Do I need to take the time and money to ABO certify myself? Also, I'm kinda up in the air, and thinking I would really like to outside frame rep. What are everyone's thoughts on that?
