One of the top legislative priorities for the Long Island Ophthalmological Society is to defeat a bill that would authorize optometrists to prescribe oral drugs to patients. Optometrists are not medical doctors (MD's) and their training lacks the education and training necessary to safely prescribe these drugs.

Members are encouraged to read the bill for details and then contact your NYS Assembly Representative and NYS Senator to register your opposition to this legislation.
