Support optometry laser regs.
 

Please support the optometry laser proposal as submitted as the draft regulations were developed with input from not only optometry but also ophthalmology. The optometrists doing the procedures must be certified beforehand. To be certified they must have extensive education, clinical experience, complete hands on training, and pass a national certification exam. I appreciate your time in considering and supporting the regulations as drafted.
