Eye MDs
 

This very simple any legislator that allows Optometrist lasers the law should also state that that legislator and his or her family can only see optometrists for all their eye care. Including but not limited to all glaucoma procedures all retinal procedures all cataract procedures and sutured IOLs. Surgery is for MDs. Very simple. We will take it a step further they can only see PAs for all and any surgical procedures on themselves and family members.
