More Choice for Patients and Optometrists in Vision Care Plans.
This act aims to improve vision insurance plans. It gives optometrists more freedom in choosing laboratories and material suppliers, potentially leading to a wider selection of eyewear for patients. It also limits the initial term of agreements between optometrists and insurers to two years, which could increase market flexibility.
