Make laser more accessible!
 

Laser eye surgery was one of the most impactful things in my adult life and making it more accessible to more people is really important.

It makes eye care so much easier—patients like me can get treatments closer to home and usually at a lower cost. Plus, since my optometrist already knows my eye health, I can receive all my care in one place, making follow-ups smoother. This change also helps relieve some pressure on specialists, allowing them to focus on more complicated cases. Overall, it’s a win for accessibility and affordability in eye care!
