Answer
Actually in Oklahoma optometrists can only perform PRK. Oklahoma has some of the most progressive optometry laws. While we are careful not to cross the line into traditional surgeries, we want to keep our options open as technology evolves.

Answer
We can only do minor surgery, such as removing foreign bodies (metals) from the eye. In some states, they can perform lasik surgery. I believe the state is Oklahoma.
