KANSAS OPTOMETRIC

Optometrists have the distinct pleasure of bringing the world into focus. Developing the full potential for our patients' vision is deeply gratifying. Despite the rewarding nature of our profession, we face challenges. Unfortunately, optometrists are not widely understood to be general practitioners and healthcare providers. That's why we're here. KOPAC and the Kansas Optometric Association advocate on behalf of the hundreds of optometrists who practice in Kansas. We educate about the importance of eye care and make sure patients have access to our care. We make sure optometrists' voices are heard by policy makers... The Kansas Optometric Association has worked to pass legislation designed to update the scope of practice of optometrists in Kansas and provided optometrists with the right to negotiate contracts with third party payers based on their practice models.
