Question 10 • Physicians, Pharmacists, Dentists, Veterinarians and Other Doctors

Which is true regarding the ability of optometrists to do surgeries?

Answer
A
It depends on the state, as they have different laws.
B
Of the optometrists that can perform surgeries, they are usually limited to simpler surgeries.
C
There are some optometrists who can do laser surgeries.
D
All of the above are true.

Explanation

Optometrists’ scope of practice varies by state, so the procedures they may perform depend on local laws. Where surgery is permitted, their authority is generally limited to certain less-complex procedures, and some states allow trained optometrists to perform specific laser procedures. Therefore, all three statements are true.
