The need to broaden the Medicare program to include the full scope of optometric vision care is discussed...particularly the need of the elderly for total vision care and how optometry helps to meet this need. This article is particularly timely inasmuch as the Congress is now considering AOA supported legislation (S.2020, H.R.2987, and many identical House bills) to accomplish this objective. Two dozen Senators and nearly 100 Representatives are currently cosponsoring these bills.
本文讨论了扩大医疗保险计划以涵盖全面的验光视力保健服务的必要性……特别是老年人对全面视力保健的需求，以及验光如何有助于满足这一需求。鉴于国会目前正在审议美国验光协会支持的立法（参议院第2020号法案、众议院第2987号法案以及许多众议院相同法案）以实现这一目标，本文尤为及时。目前有二十多名参议员和近一百名众议员共同发起这些法案。
