(August 18, 2025): Professional Eye Care Associates of America (PECAA) and ABB Optical Group (ABB) are proud to announce the expansion of their strategic vendor partnership to include ABB Optical Lab Services and ABB Contact Lens Specialty Vision Products.

PECAA President Jonathan Worrall added, "ABB Optical Group aligns with PECAA's dedication to empowering private practices with the tools they need to thrive. ABB's exclusive Unity Rewards Program enables PECAA Max members to offset their monthly membership costs and drive profitability. This expanded partnership will give members a competitive edge and is just one of the ways in which PECAA is doubling down and delivering high-value programs to our member doctors."
