ODs shadow optometrists and ophthalmologists for 1 yr prior to graduation. Courses are taught on lasers, risks, post op care etc. OD residents are proctored. ODs wanting to practice lasers are proctored. What would ODs gain from risking their license by practice lasers without being comfortable or properly trained?
