The gloves have come off. The optometry lobby is sending its members to Washington, May 17 to 19; in an attempt to peel away Congressional support for our "Veterans Eye Treatment Safety Act of 2003." We must head off optometry's misguided and dangerous march for surgery.
WHAT YOU MUST DO:
Go to the Academy Advocacy Action Center today and send a new letter to your members of Congress before optometry arrives next week. The letter will help expose some of the propaganda optometry is spreading in its attempt to persuade cosponsors to drop their support for our bill which prevents optometrists from performing surgery on patients in the Veterans Affairs health system.

Take a stand against OD surgery in Oklahoma. Oklahoma's disastrous new law poses serious implications not only for Oklahoma patients but for patients across the nation. We have already seen how they are attempting to leverage Oklahoma's existing scope of practice laws to gain privileges within the Department of Veterans Affairs. We must protect America's veterans and our patients by fighting to overturn Oklahoma's precedent-setting laws!
