Board meetings and strategic plans from Kentucky Board of Optometric Examiners
The Board addressed a variety of administrative and regulatory matters, including the approval of the treasurer's report and discussions on the regulation of mobile vision clinics and license applicant procedures. The Board conducted closed, executive sessions to deliberate on grievances and adjudications, resulting in specific disciplinary decisions and complaint filings. New business included the addition of CPT codes to the approved list, the approval of the Tixel System for use within the scope of optometry, and the handling of OIG reports and licensure applications. Additionally, the Board delegated specific powers regarding the drafting, editing, and filing of administrative regulations to the President, Vice President, and Executive Director.
The workgroup discussed the development of a standardized proctorship process for expanded therapeutic procedures, considering factors such as geographic distribution, population density, and the creation of competency rubrics. Research on credentialing and certification requirements in other states was presented, highlighting the lack of national consensus. The members deliberated on whether to maintain live-patient experience requirements for credentialing and explored options between fixed minimum procedure numbers versus competency-based assessments. Additionally, the group addressed laser safety technology, the potential for collaboration with manufacturers, and the efficacy of current Kentucky regulations regarding therapeutic procedures. Future steps include the development of standardized criteria for proctor qualifications, procedural requirements, and geographic oversight.
The workgroup focused on refining the credentialing process for expanded therapeutic procedures. Key discussions included establishing requirements for proctor qualifications—specifically the use of simultaneous visualization methods during procedure observation and the necessity of clinical experience or residency training. The workgroup also determined minimum procedural requirements for candidates seeking laser privileges and decided to incorporate specific guidance for high-risk procedures. Additionally, policies for licensure by endorsement, grandfathering currently credentialed providers, and procedures for integrating emerging laser technologies into the credentialing framework were established, including specific standards for Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT).
