Texas optometrists are advocating for a change to the rules that govern their profession during this year’s legislative session. The new laws would allow optometrists to take on some minor surgeries that were previously the responsibility of ophthalmologists.
Proponents say the law is about expanding access and allowing patients to be treated by the optometrist that they already know. What’s more, nearly every adjacent state to Texas allows optometrists to do these procedures already, sucking practitioners away from the state where many of them are trained. Opponents of the twin Texas House and Senate bills say that the laws allow those without proper training to take on procedures for which they are ill-prepared.
