Support optometry regulations as presented
 
  • Support draft regulations as presented without any changes
  • Draft regulations as presented were developed with input from optometry and ophthalmology and should be supported as presented
  • Optometrists are educated, trained and certified to perform the procedures outlined in the regulations
  • Virginia has almost 2X more optometrists than ophthalmologists, making access to these procedures less burdensome to the working poor.

 

Respectfully,

Anne Braim O.D., Gloucester Virginia
