What Is The Optometric Scope Of Practice For TPAs? Are you curious about how eye care professionals can treat certain eye conditions directly, without always referring patients elsewhere? In this video, we'll explain the scope of practice for Therapeutic Pharmaceutical Agents (TPAs) in optometry. We'll cover what TPAs are and how they enable optometrists to prescribe and manage medications for eye health issues. You'll learn about the types of medications optometrists can use, such as antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and glaucoma medications, as well as related procedures like pupil dilation and tear duct irrigation. We’ll also discuss the limitations of TPA use, including restrictions on treating structures beyond the eye and the use of injectable controlled substances, which vary by state. Understanding these rules helps improve patient care by providing faster, more accessible treatment options and reducing the need for referrals to ophthalmologists for common eye problems. We’ll explore how different states have specific laws and regulations that define what optometrists can do with TPAs, including examples from California, Connecticut, and Virginia. Overall, the scope of practice for TPAs supports more efficient eye care delivery while ensuring practitioners follow legal and educational standards. Join us to learn how these regulations impact your eye health and the role of optometrists in managing eye conditions.
