Legislative Updates

The Ohio Board of Optometry met in April, 2008 to begin the process of determining which narcotics are reasonable for ocular pain management in a primary care setting.  The next step will be a public hearing expected in June, 2008 followed by a vote by the Joint Commission on Agency Rule Review.  The earliest that Ohio optometrists may apply for a DEA license is late July, 2008.  The OOA would like to remind everyone, please do NOT apply for a DEA license until you receive notification from the OOA or Ohio Board of Optometry; the $551 application fee is non-refundable.
