The Impact of Military Experience on State Optometric Legislation
Hindsight: Journal of Optometry History, v 55(1)
12 Nov 2024
Abstract
The scope of the profession of optometry has advanced considerably in recent decades. Much of this is a result of the experience of optometry officers in the military using pharmaceutical agents in the performance of their duties before it was permitted in civilian practice. Uniformed officers and veteran optometrists were pivotal in the legislative expansion of the profession.
