Massachusetts H2380 updates optometrist licensure by requiring certain exams and clarifying advertising rules.
Massachusetts H2380 updates the licensure of optometrists by mandating that those licensed before specific dates retake exams allowing the use of therapeutic pharmaceutical agents, including glaucoma and oral medications. It also requires optometrists to notify the board if they move their principal office and mandates annual educational attendance for license renewal. The bill clarifies advertising rules, prohibiting misleading statements and requiring fixed-price ads for contact lenses, eyeglasses, or frames to disclose that the price does not include eye exams.
