1) Who can tell the class why this poster's question is completely irrelevant?

2) For extra credit, who can tell the class what the question that poster SHOULD be asking is??

Im not sure if this is what you are getting at, but the laws regarding scope of practice are always changing. What might be true today, amy not be true tomorrow. A recent example is the change of scope for CA OD's.

Sorry sir, that is INCORRECT.

Anyone else want to take a try??

Gosh, KHE, you've beaten this horse so thoroughly that even *I* know what you're talking about.

i'm a new member and therefore perhaps a naive poster, but i was more asking for interview prep. than any other purpose. i'm really not interested in optometry because i want to preform ocular injections etc. i want to help people see clearly and refract, but in order to do this i have to get into school and anticipate interview questions. thanks for the posts.

1. Just because there's a wide scope doesn't mean you're gonna get paid for it.

2. Which states allow optometrists to bill a variety of different [medical] insurance companies?
