        It was determined good eyesight leads to reading, which in turn leads to people realizing they’re living in a backwards state like Arkansas

        This is also a problem with Nurse Practitoners and Physician Assistants. They have strong lobbyists lobbying for them to do more and more in the medical fields when the EDUCATION btw those fields and an actual MD is REALLY BIG.

        Optometrists have strong lobbyists lobbying to do procedures that they don’t have the full in-depth scientific & medical understanding to be performing.

        As an adept political analyst I see this as a rebuke of Senator John Boozman by the state GOP

        No optometrist is cutting anything around my eyes. I want a trained ophthalmologist to do that. Even dermatologist won’t do it, why let them when they aren’t trained? That’s like letting a dentist do ear surgery on you.

        I'm retired from a 40+ year career in eye care. This is in my wheel-house. Optometrists are NOT qualified to perform these procedures. This is about money, not patient care. I've seen the adverse outcomes, up close & personal. What's next? Chiropractors doing spinal surgery?
