AN ACT relating to the practice of ophthalmology.

Summary

The bill changes Kentucky law so that any FDA‑approved eye device that contains medication, such as certain contact lenses, must be fitted by an ophthalmologist or an optometrist. It also allows those professionals to dispense the devices, while making clear it does not give optometrists new prescribing powers or limit pharmacists.
