FISCAL EFFECT: According to the May 4, 2015 Senate Appropriations Committee analysis,
this bill will result in costs of less than $150,000 to develop and update regulations by the Board.
The bill will also result in minor costs to grant certifications to certain optometrists and enforce
licensing regulations on those optometrists. The Board anticipates that a small number of
optometrists will seek additional, post-graduate certification to perform additional procedures
under the bill. Therefore, the additional licensing cost to issue those certifications and any
additional enforcement activities relating to those new duties are expected to be minor. Minor
costs are also anticipated for the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development
(OSHPD) to oversee a future Health Workforce Pilot Project relating to optometry. Under
current practice, the costs of developing and managing a pilot project are borne by the
sponsoring academic institution. The costs to the OSHPD to authorize and review any new pilot
project are minor.
COMMENTS:
Purpose. This bill is sponsored by the author. According to the author, “While merely 16 of
California’s 58 counties meet the needed supply range for primary care physicians, we do have a
robust network of providers that are well-trained, evenly distributed throughout the state,
regulated by the [DCA] and well positioned to pay particular attention to currently underserved
areas. Optometrists are one such provider group who receive a doctorate level training preparing
them to be primary eye care providers, and independently diagnose and treat conditions of the
eye. [This bill] will remove restrictions in current law to permit optometrists to examine,
prevent, diagnose, and treat conditions and disorders of the visual system and the human eye to
the full extent of their training. This includes the use of two types of therapeutic lasers by
optometrists with postdoctoral advanced certification that have been developed for treatment of
glaucoma and post-surgical cataract care, conditions that disproportionately affect patient groups
that generally lack sufficient access to physicians. [This bill] is a limited expansion of scope for
optometrists that is consistent with their education and training, and is a logical advancement of
the profession that has been proven safe in other states. Moreover, the educational requirements
contained in this bill are substantially greater than those required of optometrists in other states
and exceed the minimum number of these procedures required for ophthalmologists by the
Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.”
Background. According to a report prepared by the Center for the Health Professions at the
University of California San Francisco, the number of optometrist licenses in California has
declined, but the number of licensees with a secondary practice location has increased.
According to the Board, there are approximately 7,565 licensed optometrists in California, the
largest population of optometrists in the United States. Approximately 7,500 of these
optometrists are certified to administer diagnostic pharmaceutical agents. The majority of the
licensed optometrists are generally concentrated in coastal counties, the Bay Area and counties in
the Sacramento region. Several counties have no licensed optometrists with an address of record
in those counties, and a number of other counties have ratios that indicate there is approximately
one optometrist for every 10,000 people.
Optometrists’ and Ophthalmologists’ Education, Training and Scope. This bill would
expand the types of procedures an optometrist is authorized to perform. This would include
some tasks that have been traditionally performed by ophthalmologists. As such, the current
education, training and scope of each profession is outlined below.
SB 622
Page 7
Optometrists. Optometrists are trained to diagnose mild to severe eye problems such as serious
eye infections, inflammations of the eye, trauma, foreign bodies and glaucoma. They also
examine the eye for vision prescription and corrective lenses.
After completion of an undergraduate degree, optometrists complete four years of and accredited
optometry college after which they are awarded the Doctor of Optometry degree. Some
optometrists also undertake an optional one year non-surgical residency program to enhance their
experience in a particular area. Students graduate with 2500 to 3000 patient encounters; these
include a mix of post-surgical, medical and routine visits.
Optometrists who graduated from an accredited school or college of optometry on or after May
1, 2008 receive certifications to use diagnostic pharmaceutical agents (DPA); to administer
therapeutic pharmaceutical agents (TPA); to perform lacrimal irrigation and dilation (TPL); and
to diagnose and treat primary open angle glaucoma (TLG). Optometrists who did not receive
these certifications upon licensure may apply for these certifications after meeting the necessary
requirements. In order to be certified, the optometrist must pass an exam, obtain a license to
practice optometry, be certified by and accredited school of optometry that they are competent in
the diagnosis, treatment and management of ocular systemic disease and complete 10 hours of
experience with an ophthalmologist.
Ophthalmologists. The central focus of ophthalmology is surgery and management of complex
eye diseases. An ophthalmologist specializes in the refractive, medical and surgical care of the
eyes and visual system and in the prevention of disease and injury.
After obtaining an undergraduate degree, ophthalmologists complete four years at an accredited
medical school and earn a Medical Degree. This is followed by a one year internship and a three
or four year surgical residency. Many ophthalmologists pursue additional fellowship training in
specialized areas such as retina, glaucoma or cornea. Ophthalmologists may become certified by
the American Board of Ophthalmology, which requires, serving as primary surgeon or first
assistant to the primary surgeon on a minimum of 364 eye surgeries.
Changes to Current Scope of Practice. This bill would expand the scope of practice for
optometrists. The following chart illustrates some of the salient changes that would be made to
the current scope of practice for optometrists.
Current Scope
Proposed Scope
Defines the practice of optometry to include, among other things, the
prevention and diagnosis of disorders and dysfunctions of the visual
system, examination of the eyes, determination of the powers or range of
human vision and prescribing of contact and spectacle lenses.

diagnosed and treated by a TPA certified optometrist.
Adds the provision of habilitative optometric services to the definition of
the practice of optometry.
Specifies that an optometrist must consult with an ophthalmologist if
an ocular inflammation, non-surgical in cause, and other diseases recur
within one year of initial occurrence.
Limits treatment of ocular pain, non-surgical in cause, except when
co-managed with the treating physician and surgeon, associated with
conditions optometrists are authorized to treat.
Allows TPA certified optometrists to treat conjunctival surface disease,
hypotrichosis (via Latisse) and blepharitis.

optometrist becomes registered as a lab director with the Department of
Public Health.
Deletes these requirements.
Allows for treatment of all ocular pain, non-surgical in cause, except
when co-managed with the treating physician and surgeon.
SB 622
Page 8
Allows removal of foreign bodies from cornea, eyelid, and conjunctiva
with any appropriate instrument other than a scalpel or needle.
Limits prescriptions to Schedule III drugs, codeine with compounds
and hydrocodone and limits the use of these to 3 days with a referral to
an ophthalmologist if the pain persists.
Limits the definition of glaucoma.
Specifies that an optometrist cannot treat the lacrimal gland, the
lacrimal drainage system and the sclera in patients younger than 12.
Allows optometrists to perform venipuncture for testing patients
suspected of having diabetes.
No post-graduate certifications are required.
Specifies what diagnoses specify the use of steroid medication and that
an optometrist should consult with an ophthalmologist and/or
appropriate physician and surgeon if a patient’s condition worsens 72
hours after being diagnosed.
Specifies that the optometrist shall refer the patient to an
ophthalmologist if requested by the patient or if angle closure glaucoma
develops. If the glaucoma patient also has diabetes, the optometrist shall
consult with the physician treating the patient's diabetes in developing
the glaucoma treatment plan and shall inform the physician in writing of
any changes in the patient's glaucoma medication.
Specifies that if the patient has been diagnosed with a central corneal
ulcer and the central corneal ulcer has not improved 48 hours after
diagnosis, the optometrist shall refer the patient to an
ophthalmologist.
Allows optometrists the use of a needle to remove foreign bodies from the
eye.
Changes the use to 5 days.
Adds to the definition of glaucoma : “increase in intraocular pressure
caused by steroid medication prescribed by optometrist or prescribing
physician”.
Deletes this requirement.
Amends the language to allow optometrists “to collect blood specimen by
the finger prick method” to test for diabetes.
Establishes three new post-graduate certifications: 1) anterior segment
laser, 2) minor procedures and 3) immunization.
Deletes this requirement.
Deletes these requirements.
Deletes these requirements.
Specifies that if the patient has been diagnosed with preseptal cellulitis
or dacryocystitis and the condition has not improved 48 hours after
diagnosis, the optometrist shall refer the patient to an
ophthalmologist.
Specifies that if the patient has been diagnosed with herpes simplex
keratitis or varicella zoster viral keratitis and the patient's condition has
not improved seven days after diagnosis, or has not resolved three weeks
after diagnosis the optometrist shall refer the patient to an
ophthalmologist
Deletes these requirements.
Specifies that if the patient has been diagnosed with herpes simplex viral
conjunctivitis, herpes simplex viral dermatitis, varicella zoster viral
conjunctivitis, or varicella zoster viral dermatitis, and if the patient's
condition worsens seven days after diagnosis, or has not resolved three
weeks after diagnosis, the optometrist shall consult with and refer the
patient to an ophthalmologist.
Requires that in any case where an optometrist is required to consult
with an ophthalmologist, the optometrist shall maintain a written
record in the patient's file of the information provided to the
ophthalmologist, the ophthalmologist's response, and any other relevant
information. Upon the consulting ophthalmologist's request and with the
patient's consent, the optometrist shall furnish a copy of the record to
the ophthalmologist.
Deletes this requirement.
Allows the Board to authorize the use of new non-invasive technology,
after completion of a minimum of four hours of education courses on the
new technology, and perform an appropriate number of complete clinical
procedures on live human patients.
Adds the ability for optometrists to perform skin tests to diagnose ocular
allergies and limits these tests to the superficial lawyer of the skin.
Adds the use of mechanical lipid extraction of meibomian glands and nonsurgical techniques
Defines minor procedures: “Minor procedures” does not include
blepharoplasty or other cosmetic surgery procedures that reshape normal
structures of the body in order to improve appearance and self-esteem.

Other States. Since 1997, there have been over 45 attempts in over 20 states by optometry
associations to expand the scope of practice for optometrists including legislating surgery
privileges. However, with the exception of Oklahoma and West Virginia, most states continue to
prohibit optometrists from performing surgery, and their statutes specify that the license to
practice optometry does not include the right to practice medicine. States such as Colorado and
North Carolina specifically exclude surgery from their definition of the practice of optometry.
Other states have statutes that delineate between laser and non-laser surgery. Optometrists are
authorized to prescribe oral medications in all 50 states, they may prescribe oral steroids in 34
states, injections in 15 states and use lasers in 1 state.
Prior Related Legislation. SB 492 (Hernandez) of 2013, would have permitted an optometrist
to diagnose treat and manage additional conditions with ocular manifestations, directed the
California Board of Optometry to establish educational and examination requirements and would
have permitted optometrists to perform vaccinations and surgical and non-surgical primary care
procedures. NOTE: This bill died on the Assembly inactive file.
SB 668 (Polanco) Chapter 13, Statutes of 1996, expanded the scope of practice of optometrists to
provide for the diagnosis and treatment of specified conditions or diseases of the human eye or
its appendages, and to use other therapeutic pharmaceutical agents.
SB 929 (Polanco) Chapter 676, Statutes of 2000, expanded the scope of lawful practice for
optometrists by specifying additional diseases and conditions that optometrists may treat (in
particular certain types of glaucoma) with specified medications, and by specifying the extent of
physician involvement that is required under various circumstances.
SB 1406 (Correa) Chapter 352, Statutes of 2008, specified permissible procedures for certified
optometrists, and created the Glaucoma Diagnosis and Treatment Advisory Committee to
establish glaucoma certification requirements.
ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT:
The Board of Optometry supports the bill and writes, “The Board is supportive of the intent and
direction of the bill, specifically the utilization of the extensive training an education of
optometrists to expand access to health care for millions of Californians.”
The California Association for Nurse Practitioners supports the bill and writes, “This bill would
allow optometrists to practice more consistently with their education and training by authorizing
them to treat and manage additional visual system conditions, administer flue, pneumonia and
shingles vaccinations, and perform certain noninvasive procedures.”
The United Nurses Associations of California/Union of Health Care Professionals supports the
bill and writes, “[This bill] is a very modest expansion of the types of services that an optometrist
can provide and ensures that only qualified, trained and competent O.D.s are permitted to offer
the expanded services. [This bill] specifically prohibits O.D.s from performing surgery, and
instead authorizes O.D.s only to perform relatively minor procedures.”
ARGUMENTS IN OPPOSITION:
The California Academy of Eye Physicians and Surgeons opposes the bill and writes in their
letter, “We are particularly concerned that the bill has moved away from the ‘comprehensive’
SB 622
Page 10
concept of a single certification in ‘advanced procedures.’ We believe someone training to be a
surgeon needs to develop the surgical judgment common to performing all surgical procedures:
understanding when (and when not to) do surgery, being able to anticipate, avoid, and recognize
complications, and knowing how to address these complications when they do happen. It is
unreasonable to expect these skills to be developed after the minimal experience called for in
[this bill].”
The California Medical Association opposes the bill and writes, “The CMA opposes [this bill]
because patient safety and quality of care demand that patients be assured that individuals who
perform invasive procedures have appropriate medical education and education. The safe use of
lasers and scalpels requires extensive medical education and training… In addition, the safe
administration of immunizations requires extensive education, training, experience and the
ability to monitor for side effects that far exceed an optometrist’s training in visual systems.”
The Medical Board of California also opposes this measure. They write in their opposition
letter, “Although the services that optometrists are authorized to provide have been narrowed
down compared to SB 492 from last year, the Board still has concerns with the length of
additional training and the number of procedures required. The 25 hours of training and the
specified number of procedures required by this bill are not enough to ensure that consumers are
protected and that certified optometrists are properly trained.”
AMENDMENTS:
1. The following technical amendments should be made:
On page 7, line 34 strike: lawyer and insert: layer
On page 14, line 17, strike: “injections” and after “intraorbital” insert: injections, intraocular
injections
On page 7, lines 9, strike: a, strike: specimen, strike: finger prick method and insert: skin
puncture
2. In order to ensure that this bill will not expand the scope of laboratory tests that an
optometrist can order, the following amendment should be made:
On page 7, line 30 after “CLIA” insert: and designated as waived in paragraph (9)
3. A complete minor procedure includes: 1) injections of medication, 2) removal or destruction
of lesions and 3) any required wound closures. This bill defines minor procedures to be
“either” of the 3 previously listed. The following amendment should be made in order to
ensure that a complete procedure includes numbers 1 through 3 above:
On page 14, line 6, amend the bill as follows: For purposes of this chapter, “minor
procedure” means completion of all of the following
4. In order to ensure that the courses outlined in this bill are taken post-graduation, the
following amendment should be made:
On page 12, line 38, amend the bill as follows:
SB 622
Page 11
(b) An optometrist certified to treat glaucoma pursuant to Section 3041.2, after successful
completion of a degree from an approved school of optometry, shall be additionally certified
for the use of anterior segment lasers after submitting proof of satisfactory completion of a
course that is approved by the board, provided by an accredited school of optometry, and
developed in consultation with an ophthalmologist who has experience educating optometric
students. The board shall issue a certificate pursuant to this section only to an optometrist
that has graduated from an approved school of optometry.
5. In order to ensure that inspection authority for the Board of Optometry is consistent with
other DCA healing arts boards’ inspection authority, the following should be added to the
bill:
The board may at any time inspect any place of practice in which optometry is being
practiced. The board’s inspection authority does not extend to premises that are not
registered with the board. Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect the board’s
ability to investigate alleged unlicensed activity or to inspect place of practice for which
registration has lapsed or is delinquent.
