Expand Optometry Act

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill expands the types of procedures optometrists can perform in New Mexico, including certain laser applications for the eye and minor surgical procedures on the eyelid and cornea. It also gives the Board of Optometry more power to determine what constitutes optometry practice and to set credentialing requirements for laser procedures. These changes would allow optometrists to offer a wider range of eye care services to patients.
