Effort to ‘Modernize’ Eye Care Shouldn’t Come at the Expense of Patient Safety—New Hampshire Bulletin

Read article—Michael E. Zegans, a professor of surgery and of microbiology and immunology, writes an opinion piece about a bill that would allow optometrists, who are not medical doctors or trained surgeons, to perform eye surgeries in New Hampshire. "Surgery is not merely an extension of routine care or a way to 'enhance' a business practice. It is its own specialty, requiring extensive medical residency and surgical training that cannot be replaced with optometry school coursework," Zegans writes.
