Summary
The measure expands the scope of optometry in Missouri to include injectable drugs and a defined set of surgical procedures, provided the optometrist completes a 32‑hour certification program. It lists many eye‑related services that remain allowed, and it explicitly excludes major intra‑ocular surgeries and laser treatments. The bill failed to pass.
