Support Optometry Proposal As Submitted
 

I support draft regulations as presented without any changes. Optometry education and training supports the regulation requirements of 2 proctored sessions per procedure. In-office lasers have been performed by optometrists since the 1990s, and as such, it's apparent that any further amendments to this proposed regulation would be unnecessary.
