Does anyone know a good resource where I can find the state laws and regulations regarding the use of injectables? I am specifically interested in the Iowa state laws. I can't seem to find anything with a Google search...Thanks!

every state has different laws and regulations .. look them up in the state boards.

ex: boston masach. optometry boards.

Okay, so in Iowa I found that you can only use injectable for anaphylactic reaction. But does anyone know if there is a list of states that do allow injectables? I can find all kinds of articles that say, "X number of states allow optometrists to use injectables..." but never a list of those states...

Many more practicing ODs there, and as an optometry student you'll be granted access to the forums. Should be able to find your answer over there.

there's something like this with a map on the AOA website.. but you have to be an AOA/AOSA member to access it.

Hmmm...I am a AOA member I believe, I paid dues for AOSA (student association), so would that grant me access?

Have to contact them to get login info, but you should be able to get access.
