Overview of ABO
offer combined expertise and insight to help you gain a greater understanding of your
finances, and enjoy more agency in business operations as well as personal finances.
Network
ABO is aiming for technical market leadership, whereby the group will grow from 350 to 700 FTE, and will do this from an extensive office network spread over its 3 home countries.Most of this can be achieved organically.The board and operational management have together laid down the growth path for the coming years in a plan.The group is also open to accelerate the expansion of some segments through acquisitive growth, however.The target is to reach the turnover cap of 100 million euro by the end of 2025 at the latest.
Support
ABO continues to look to recruit additional experts to support organic growth.Above all, consulting experienced a weaker turnover development, with regard to both construction and soil.After a very strong first half year, activities in the Netherlands reduced slightly, although overall they remained at a good capacity utilisation level.

How is ABO incompatibility diagnosed?
ABO incompatibility is diagnosed by: (1) cord blood test for incompatibility, (2) a complete blood count (CBC) that shows damaged and hemolyzed blood cells, and (3) elevated bilirubin levels.
How is ABO incompatibility treated?
ABO incompatibility is treated in newborns by light therapy (phototherapy).On rare occasions an exchange transfusion may be necessary.Full recovery usually occurs with no lasting repercussions.
Is Your Physician Certified?
Verify your eye doctor or surgeon’s board certification in ophthalmology or search for board-certified doctors in your area.
What are the symptoms?
Incompatible maternal and fetal blood type as determined by prenatal testing, jaundice in the newborn, and elevated bilirubin level in the newborn.
What causes ABO incompatibility?
ABO incompatibility can occur between the mother and fetus under three scenarios.The blood types are: A, B, and O.The most common incompatibility occurs when the mother has O type blood and the fetus has B, A, or AB.The other combinations that cause ABO incompatibility are: the mother has A type blood and the fetus has A or AB type blood, or the mother has B type blood and the fetus has A or AB type blood.Both these last combinations are highly unlikely to occur.
What Continuing Education Credits are required?
Of the 12 hours of continuing education, at least 4 hours in eyeglass fitting and dispensing, at least 3 hours of contact lens fitting and dispensing, and at least one hour of state or national opticianry standards are required.
What does the State Board of Dispensing Opticians do?
(A.R.S.§32-1673) The Board regulates the opticianry profession through administering examinations, issuing licenses to qualified opticians and optical establishments, proposing legislation, enacting rules and regulations and investigating complaints brought to the Board against licensed opticians and optical establishments.
What is a Dispensing Optician?
(A.R.S.§32-1671.3) “Dispensing optician” means any person, except as provided in section A.R.S.§32-1691, who dispenses lenses, contact lenses, frames, artificial eyes, optical devices, appurtenances thereto or parts thereof to the intended wearer on written prescription from a duly licensed physician or optometrist, and in accordance with such prescription interprets, measures, adapts, fits or adjusts the same for the aid or correction of visual or ocular anomalies of the human eye or who duplicates, replaces, reproduces or repeats the same without prescription when there is no change in refractive value, provided that contact lenses shall never be dispensed without a written contact lens prescription being on file in any optical establishment, office of an optometrist or office of a physician or verbal confirmation of that written prescription.The dispensing optician shall advise the intended wearer at the time that contact lenses are delivered to return to the prescribing physician or optometrist for evaluation and follow-up care.
What is ABO incompatibility?
ABO incompatibility results when the fetal blood type is different from the mother’s blood type.When the blood types differ, the mother creates antibodies against the fetus’ incompatible blood type.These antibodies enter the placenta and begin to destroy the fetus’ blood cells.
What is certification?
You can’t buy it; you have to earn it.Certification is professional distinction – official and public recognition of your achievement that your service provider has met a national set of standards as a qualified and competent Optician or Contact Lens Technician.Certification is your assurance that your eye wear needs are being competently and carefully fulfilled; certification is recognized by employers as a standard of competence.
What is the difference between a Dispensing Optician, an Optometrist and an Ophthalmologist?
A Dispensing Optician makes and/or sells (fits) the eyeglasses or contacts.An Optometrist is the doctor who does the examination and writes the prescription.An Ophthalmologist is a medical doctor specializing in diseases of the eye.
