Eye Care Professions Reach Deal on Scope of Practice
Sen. Lou Correa (D-Santa Ana) said groups representing optometrists and ophthalmologists have reached a deal on a scope of practice bill (SB 1406). Correa's bill would allow optometrists to perform several procedures that they previously were barred from performing, while other procedures, including anything involving cutting into the eye, would be reserved for ophthalmologists.
