Glaucoma Modernization Initiative

The NOA Glaucoma Modernization Initiative

Defend Patient Access. Protect Our Profession. Modernize Glaucoma Care.

This Is an Inflection Point for Nevada Optometry

The 2027 legislative session will determine the future of glaucoma care in Nevada and the journey to create lasting change starts today.

Make no mistake: this will be a fight.

The NOA Glaucoma Modernization Initiative is a sustained, strategic campaign to ensure optometrists can continue providing front-line glaucoma care – and that patients retain access to the care they depend on.

What’s at Stake

This effort is not about incremental change – it’s about securing the future of optometry in Nevada.

We are working to:

• Protect patient access to timely, local glaucoma care
• Modernize and clarify state law to reflect how care is actually delivered today
• Cement optometry’s role as a front-line provider in managing glaucoma
• Establish clear statutory standards that cannot be easily challenged or rolled back

If we don’t lead this effort, others will define it for us.

Why Your Engagement Matters

Legislators don’t respond to position papers – they respond to organized, visible, and engaged constituents.

• Unity signals strength
• Participation builds influence
• Financial engagement fuels advocacy

If we show up together, we can have a positive impact together.

Stand Up. Get Engaged. Stay Engaged.

This is one of those moments that will define the trajectory of our profession in Nevada.

We can either shape the future of glaucoma care – or react to decisions made without us.

Stand with your colleagues. Engage in the fight. Help ensure optometry continues to lead and provides important patient access to Nevadans.
