STATEMENT: Florida Society of Ophthalmology President Dr. Sarah Wellik on Protecting Patients, Filing of SB 876/HB631
Dangerous legislation would allow non-Medical Doctors to perform surgery and prescribe opioids placing Floridians at serious risk.

Monday, February 1, 2021 - 13:45

This week Senate Bill 876 was filed by Senator Manny Diaz, chair of the Health Policy committee. SB 876 is an aggressive and dangerous push by optometry to expand their scope of practice. This proposed legislative bill would grant broad and unprecedented surgical privileges to optometrists who are certainly not adequately trained to perform scalpel surgery, laser surgery, or prescribe narcotics.
