BOARD OF OPTOMETRY POWERS AND DUTIES

Summary

HB 94 revises New Mexico’s Optometry Act to broaden what optometrists may do, adding a set of minor in‑office surgeries and specific laser eye treatments. It also gives the Board of Optometry stronger authority to write rules, certify practitioners for those procedures, and enforce licensing standards. The goal is to increase patient access while maintaining professional oversight.
