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.  ....

Twin bills have been filed in the Texas House and Senate that would expand the scope of optometry practices, but critics say the new scope may endanger patients and allow optometrists to perform procedures for which they are not prepared. 
House Bill 2340 and Senate Bill 993 would allow optometrists to perform surgeries, manage complex glaucomas without any physician collaboration, prescribe hydrocodone-combination medications and other controlled substances, perform, prescribe, or order visual diagnostic studies, and shift medicine and surgery regulation from the Texas Medical Board to the Texas Optometry Board.  ....
