IMPORTANT MESSAGE
On January 1, 2021, Governor Charlie Baker signed into law a Telehealth Reform bill which included Massachusetts scope of practice enhancements. These enhancements include treatment of glaucoma and prescription of oral medications in schedules III, IV, V, and VI for eye related diseases. The law becomes active 90 days after signing. However, Optometrists cannot automatically begin treating and prescribing. DPH and the State Board have to design a new level of optometry licensure and determine rules, regulations, and educational requirements. The MSO will be sending out messages as these yet undetermined rules are released. The MSO has been pushing out messages to all members on this legislation, the pandemic, the vaccination program, law and regulation changes and many more issues.
