If you hadn’t noticed the new banner ad on the website, the Safe Surgery Coalition/South Dakota Academy of Ophthalmology has joined us on advertisers row for a short time encouraging legislators to educate themselves on Senate Bill 87, and to ask House members to vote NO on the measure. If you review their website, they note:
- The South Dakota House of Representatives is considering Senate Bill 87 , which would put patients at risk by allowing optometrists authority to perform a wide variety of surgery on and around the eye using instruments such as scalpels and lasers.
- Optometrists are valued members of the eye care team who provide important vision care to eye patients. But they are not medical doctors or trained surgeons.
- Eye surgery should only be performed by ophthalmologists–medical doctors and trained eye surgeons who have the necessary level of medical education and clinical training.
Please click on the ad, and visit their website.

And if you have a cause or organization you’d like to bring to the attention of our state’s decision makers, we’re down to only two or three limited advertising opportunities left for reaching South Dakota’s opinion leaders. Advertising on the Dakotwarcollege.com website is based on a first come, first serve basis for available positions.
