Support optometry regulations as submitted
 

Optometrists are educated, trained and certified to perform the procedures outlined in the regulations.  All optometrists must be certified in laser procedures before performing them on patients. To be certified, they must have extensive clinical experience, complete hands-on training and pass a national certification exam. 

Please support draft regulations as presented without any changes.
