An Act to Amend the Laws Governing Optometric Practice

This bill changes the laws for optometrists in Maine. It expands the definition of optometry to include certain eye surgeries and allows optometrists to prescribe more types of drugs, including some hydrocodone products. Optometrists would need special credentials to perform surgeries, and the State Board of Optometry would set these rules and further define the scope of practice.
