Support Laser Regulations for Virginia
 

Optometry education and training supports the regulation requirements of 2 proctored sessions per procedure.  All optometrists must be certified in laser procedures before performing them on patients. They must have extensive clinical experience, complete hands-on training and pass the national certification exam to be certified.  

Please support the draft regulations as presented.
