In-office laser use by doctors of optometry
 

As an educator and clinical instructor for over 40 years, and the Vice President of the Georgia State Board of Optometry,  I am in full support of the laser regulations proposed by the Virginia State Board of Optometry.  Doctors in 10 other states are using lasers successfully, including many former students and residents of mine.  Once this law is enacted, the citizens of Virginia will have access to safe, affordable and timely medical eye care.
