Please support the optometric laser regulations as currently presented. They were developed collaboratively with input from both optometrists and ophthalmologists. Optometrists are thoroughly educated, trained, and certified to perform these procedures. Additionally, in-office laser procedures by optometrists are already permitted in 12 states, with over 146,000 procedures performed nationwide. Supporting the regulations as written will ensure consistent and safe practice standards.

Thank you for your consideration.

Regards,
Adam Parker, OD
