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
