As a resident of one of the 12 states that include in-office laser procedures by optometrists, I fully support doctors of optometry performing in-office laser procedures.  My husband  receives excellent pre and post cataract surgery care, including a YAG capsulotomy, from his doctor of optometry, who is his trusted primary eye care physician.  Optometrists are educated, trained and certified to perform the procedures outlined in the regulations and I fully support them as written.
