*Candidates will be allowed to bring and use their own retinoscopes. However, the only retinoscope that is being provided by NCCTO will be the Welch Allyn.

After further testing with the Volk 20D Lens and the Volk Digital Clear Field Lens, it was found that both lenses provide equal images for Video Taping on BIO. Therefore, you will have the option of using either lens.
