Bill > SB1023

This bill, amending Arizona Revised Statutes, establishes new guidelines for optometrists regarding eye examinations and eyeglass prescriptions. Specifically, it mandates that optometrists must perform eye exams that assess both eye health and vision, adhering to community standards of care, and recommends these examinations occur annually. Furthermore, the bill grants optometrists the discretion to extend the validity period of an eyeglass prescription for up to two years, or conversely, shorten it, based on factors related to the patient's risk category, medical condition, or other relevant personal circumstances.
