Allowing individuals who have never gone to Medical School to perform LASER eye surgery without training and having used only a model eye is malpractice and a disservice to the citizens of Virginia! The Journal of the American Medical Association published 2 articles 2021 and 2024 stating that patients seen by allied professionals “ODs, PAs and NPs” MUST have alternating visits with MDs because they are not qualified to function without direct medical supervision.
