What my clients
have to say!

I recently had the privilege of attending Carrie Wilson’s Continuing Education hours this Spring. In my three+ decades of sitting in CE classrooms, your session stands out as truly exceptional. Your unique combination of firsthand laboratory experience and deep knowledge of current ANSI standards completely shifted my perspective. Your energy, expertise, and engaging presentation style are exactly what our industry needs to wake up, sharpen our knowledge, and fall in love with learning all over again.

Carrie was absolutely amazing! She helped me successfully pass both my ABO and NCLE, and I couldn’t have done it without her guidance. She explains things in a way that actually makes sense and truly cares about her students’ success. If you’re studying for your boards, I highly recommend working with her.

Just had the pleasure of 8 hours of CE classes this past Sunday. WOW! After 46 years of these, never wanted to fall asleep. Looking forward to next year!

The Best! Continued Education indeed! Carrie has a wonderful way to get her class engaged. She presents all the information in a way to be understood. I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the next topic. I always have an “a-ha” moment and am genuinely excited to go to this class!

My organization has brought Carrie in twice for an ABO prep course. We have seen great success with the training Carrie provides. We will certainly use her services in the future.

This course helped me so much. For anyone struggling to pass the ABO, I 100% recommend having Carrie help you. She simplifies all the things you’ve probably overcomplicated. So happy I found her!

Carrie was interesting, informative and entertaining. I took away knowledge that I can actually use in my business. Having been an optician for 26 years, I have been to a lot of CE classes and these were some of the best I have attended.

Carrie “Optigal” is amazing at her job. She is entertaining and articulate as she shares the knowledge she has acquired over the last 30 years. With a multi-faceted background in all things optical, she makes Continuing Education classes fun! I would give 10 stars if it were an option.

Carrie was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with preparation for my exam. She took the time to go over everything with me and answered all my questions. Highly recommend!

She offered practical, experience-based advice and took time out of her day to share her insight. Her willingness to be straightforward and generous with her knowledge made the conversation meaningful and helpful as I continue to move forward.

Carrie’s CE classes are very informative and so fun! Highly recommend! She keeps it 100! I’ve attended the last 2 years and will definitely be back again!

My company decided to do a 10-week training course to better equip us for the ABO test in May. Never once during the 10 weeks did I feel dumb or silly when asking any questions. After all, we were there to learn. If anyone could benefit from a similar class or knows of someone that could, I would highly recommend reaching out to her. Thank you so much, Carrie, I truly appreciate all your help!

Wanted to give a shout-out to Carrie Wilson! I just passed my ABO. I studied her book and was able to spend time with her in a review class. She took her time and made sure we understood each subject before going on to the next. I highly recommend her material.

Carrie’s crash course was spectacular! She is an expert in everything optics. The book is easy to follow along, understand and dare I say, entertaining! With all the colors and pictures. She truly understands how to read someone and curate the learning process to YOUR needs. Her positive demeanor is intoxicatingly contagious, she will have you feeling like you can take on the world! Highly recommend a thousand times over. Thank you Carrie, I could not have done it without you.

Carrie is exceptional at explaining things in a way I could understand. Her manner of providing examples and tips and memory tricks helped me immensely when it came to retaining knowledge. I will definitely be coming to her again when it’s time to take the NCLE. Thanks Carrie! You helped me pass!!

Carrie is such a genuine person. Her Intro to Contacts book was perfect! It is easy to follow and understand. Her CLRE 400 question packet was a blessing. Thank you Ms. Carrie for dedicating your time to help others gain the knowledge and confidence to succeed in our profession and pass these tests.

I was able to pass both my exams with Optigal’s review manuals. I love that it includes up-to-date information. There were many concepts that she just made so easy to comprehend. I love the clear, distinct illustrations as well. Now I use my books as reference manuals, which I find myself constantly using. I would 100% recommend Optigal Consulting to my peers, or to aspiring professionals in the optical field.

I have recommended her guides to many apprentices and upcoming opticians who want to have a better understanding of our industry and its teachings. These prep books and Carrie’s guidance are clear, simple, easy to understand, and correct!

Carrie is an amazing individual and excellent educator. I’m truly fortunate to have her as a resource and a colleague. Introduction to Basic Optical Principles is one of the most comprehensive ABO study materials I’ve read. I use it in my office to train my staff.

I am using Carrie’s training books and practice tests to get my staff ready for the ABO test. Carrie explains and writes in a way that everyone on my staff has been able to learn and understand. Thank you Carrie!!

Without question, an indispensable resource for the dispensing optician and all ECPs. Not only is Carrie a brilliant mind, but she has a passion for education that is unparalleled in the industry today. Our practice has experienced more value from her consulting than I can write in this review. No matter where you are in the industry, no matter how successful you think you are, Carrie will take you to new heights.

Optigal Consulting is very knowledgeable in all aspects of running an optical business. As an optical business owner for 10 years and having worked in the field for 34 years, I highly recommend Optigal Consulting to guide you with practical and profitable advice for your optical business.

Carrie’s education and consulting have made me a better optician and salesman. She has a way of breaking down some of the most complicated concepts so that they are easy to understand and retain. I often recommend her products to fellow opticians and practices.

Carrie is truly an expert in the optical industry and is well respected by those who have had the pleasure of working with her. She is passionate about what she does, and she is so willing to share her vast knowledge with others. I have had the honor of working alongside Carrie, and she has graciously and patiently taught me so much. 10 stars for Optigal Consulting!

There are extremely few that may even come close to Carrie Wilson’s training. That I can promise.

A fresh take with a wide array of experience in a multitude of business aspects and industry-specific advisement. I couldn’t imagine working with anyone else!

The only thing more impressive than Carrie Wilson’s knowledge on optical theory is her desire to learn even more and her willingness to help others understand it.

Carrie has reignited my passion for optics.

Carrie is passionate and extremely knowledgeable.
