Injections Skill Examination

Administration Information

The Injection Skills Examination (ISE), is a distinctive clinical skills examination for optometry requiring fundamental skills that reflect actual practice. Our state-of-the-art testing facility exam rooms simulate real-life optometric examination rooms and allow NBEO to provide the safety, security, and standardization necessary to ensure fairness and validity in a high-stake testing environment.

Important Message

NBEO is aware that some candidates have been informed by their state boards that score access is unavailable. Since March 2026, NBEO has provided all state boards with the ability to register for and access the new State Board Portal, along with multiple communications, onboarding instructions, and training resources. If your state board indicates they do not have access, we encourage them to contact NBEO directly for assistance so we can support completion of their portal setup.
