Mr. Richard E. Forkey Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. May 20, 2010 Page 2 Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, page 45 1. Please refer to prior comment 4. We note the disclosure added in the third paragraph of this section to provide management’s conclusion regarding the effectiveness of your internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009. However, we reiterate the disclosure “including internal control over financial reporting” that we previously referenced from the Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures section may not be appropriate and may be confusing to investors. Please revise your future filings to remove the confusing language from that section, and revise this section to include a statement of management’s responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Refer to Item 308T(a)(1) of Regulation S-K. 2. Please provide, in writing, a statement from the company acknowledging that:

• The company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;

• staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and

• the company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

* * * * As appropriate, please respond to these comments within 10 business days or tell us when you will provide us with a response. Please furnish a cover letter with your response that keys your responses to our comments and provides any requested information. Detailed cover letters greatly facilitate our review. Please understand that we may have additional comments after reviewing your amendment and responses to our comments. You may contact David Burton, Staff Account ant, at (202) 551-3626 or me at (202) 551- 3616 if you have questions regarding these comments. In this regard, do not hesitate to contact Kevin L.
