THE FLORIDA OPHTHALMOLOGIST - WINTER 2015/2016 | PAGE 1

Happy New Year all! I hope you and your families had a joyous holiday season and I wish all of you a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year!

The 2015 American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) Annual Meeting concluded in Las Vegas where there was further discussion of optometric scope expansion initiatives and the more dire stories of optometrists demanding of co-managing ophthalmologists that the optometrist be able to undertake and charge for pre-operative decision making and testing including optical biometry, corneal topography, femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery choice, and intraocular (IOL) decision making.

The preoperative decision for surgery, the tests and decisions needed to provide safe surgery and informed consent, cannot be performed by anyone other than the operative surgeon. Anything less is clearly outside of the standard of care. Just say no. A recent editorial in Ophthalmology Management discusses the editor’s experience in this matter. To read more on this issue, please visit: http://www.ophthalmologymanagement.com/articleviewer.aspx?articleID=113352

We at the Florida Society of Ophthalmology (FSO) were anticipating the start of the Florida legislative session for 2016, and we hope that it will remain “quiet on the scope expansion front.” Our board of directors, executive team, and legislative advocates are prepared for all eventualities. We will again work with our partners nationally including the AAO and the

American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) to counter attempts by those untrained to do surgery on our patients who may try to gain surgical privileges through legislation as opposed to the proper way- by going to medical school.

We look forward to a quiet session in Tallahassee so that we can focus on doing the good work necessary for our patients and ourselves. Our patients need laws including a demand for early eye drop refills for those who reasonably run out due to tremor, arthritis, or other maladies.

We can only bring legislation and fight for your right to practice in a free market if we have the funds to fight. Please support the FSO political committee (PC), FOCUS and our advocacy efforts by making a contribution today! You can include your contribution with your dues payment or you make a contribution online at: www.mdeye.org/support/contribute?s=focus.

Happy New Year from the Florida Society of Ophthalmology!

Legislative UpdateADVOCACY

Session officially convened on Tuesday, January 12, 2016, but it seems we haven’t left Tallahassee with three Special Sessions last summer and committee hearings all fall. Your Florida Society of Ophthalmology (FSO) Executive Committee was hard at work throughout the summer and fall under the direction of President, Brad Oren, MD and Legislative Chair, Mark Michels, MD, keeping an eye on legislative action and directing key fundraising activities.

We have a great deal on our plate with efforts to pass legislation dealing with telemedicine l, 1-800 contacts bills, ARNP expansion of scope of practice, direct primary care bills, prohibition on balance billing, the OD’s second year efforts to pass vision screening legislation, and much more (see legislation filed below).

We will be posting periodic updates on our FSO website throughout the Legislative Session and hope that all of you will respond to “Calls To Action” when we need legislator’s to hear our voice on specific legislation. As always, thanks for your support. We have a LOT of work ahead of us! IMPORTANT 2016 LEGISLATIVE DATES:

On Tuesday, December 1, 2015, the For Eye Care Foundation (FECF) participated in #GivingTuesday, a movement created to celebrate generosity and giving on the Tuesday following Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Florida Society of Ophthalmology (FSO) members received an e-blast sharing information on #GivingTuesday and asking them to consider contributing to the FECF.

The For Eye Care Foundation was thrilled to hear that CSX Transportation, whose corporate headquarters are located in Jacksonville, FL, selected the FECF as their 2015 charity campaign. In honor of #GivingTuesday, Dr. Darby Miller, FSO Secretary-Treasurer, visited the employees of CSX and shared information about the For Eye Care Foundation’s mission. Dr. Miller also discussed various events that the FECF participated in such as the annual Florida Vision Summit as well as the passage of the Senate Resolution 844 that designated August as Amblyopia Awareness Month and its corresponding eye-screening events. After Dr. Miller’s presentation, the employees of CSX proudly donated over $2,400 to the For Eye Care Foundation!

The generous donations from the CSX charity campaign will be used to help the FECF purchase a Spot Vision Device, a portable device used for screening and detecting vision issues in children, which will be used for many years to come. The FECF will be able to further its mission in assisting other eye care organizations with community outreach and delivering important public service messages regarding eye care and disease.
