The legislation that was passed is perfectly fine as written and should be implemented in a timely manner.  Please realize the "training" that ophthalmologists claim is so sacred is actually quite limited when it comes to these benign laser procedures.  In fact, during their own training programs they are only required to perform a handful of these same procedures before being allowed to perform them without supervision.

In addition, optometrists have been performing these laser procedures in over 10 other states without any reported negative outcomes or increase in malpractice insurance for decades.

Do not fall for the false fears created by a medical community that wants to control everything, reduce access and drive-up costs.

Thank you.
