Eye patients in Alabama and Colorado (really everywhere) need to be careful!

Incredibly dangerous legislation is moving forward in Alabama that would allow inadequately trained optometrists to perform laser and scalpel surgery on patients. Who wants an eye surgeon who hasn’t completed medical school and years of surgical training to operate on their eyes? A frightening eye surgery bill that allows all of this is now being considered in Alabama (SB120) and an equally dangerous bill is active in Colorado (HB 1233).

Optometry school and any sort of classes for practicing optometrists (typically weekend courses!) simply aren’t a safe substitute! Patients need to know Who is Taking Care of Your Eyes. Contact your Alabama or Colorado legislators and let them know that Alabama and Colorado voters do not need or want inadequately trained optometrists performing eye surgery!
