Nystrom earns national certification

Press release

Rachel Nystrom of Havre Optometric Clinic has earned national certification as an optician.

The American Board of Opticianry announced that Nystrom passed national competency examinations and the National Opticianry Competency Exam to be designated as a certified optician.

The competency examination is a job-related test which measures knowledge in opticianry, the field of turning a doctor's prescription into actual eyeglasses or other vision aids and related implements. The exam is administered twice a year and is the only nationally recognized voluntary credential for opticianry.

Nystrom's designation as a certified optician "should be recognized as a measure of professional ability and distinction," a press release from the American Board of Opticianry said.
