This is an AI generated article with misleading information. There was a ruling’s in this, however the updates scope bill supersedes this judges ruling. There was a news story from the summer of 2025 that clarified this, but for some reason this is getting promoted without the full information.

The AAO and AMA and promoting this judges ruling, even though it was also noted by the judge in the ruling that it’s a moot point, so that they can have the appearance of a scope win.

I think they want to push this out in conjunction with the bad optometry press happening right now, in an attempt to discredit ODs.
 
Thanks for this info, Erick.
