Patient examples needed
Expanded optometric scope of practice helps patients – so we need to let legislators know how patients would benefit from this legislation. Examples don’t need to be lengthy and can be generic or include the patient’s name, with their written permission. Stories may be shared on MOA's social media channels, in legislative testimony and/or in other public messaging.
Below is an example to get the wheels turning.
Bangor small business owner Steve Smith supports expanding optometric scope of practice. “My time is worth money. I can’t afford to take time off for extra appointments. If optometrists in other states can perform these procedures, why can’t mine?”
Send anecdotes to Caroline Fontaine, MOA Executive Director, moa@maineeyedoctors.org.
OR provide the patient name and email or phone # and we will call them!
