Good afternoon, I am an Optometrist that has been practicing in an Ophthalmology clinic in Roanoke, VA since 1996. We have multiple MDs and ODs and all of out optometrists regularly participate in both the preop and post op examinations of patients having opthalmic surgeries.  I routinely tell my patients that the laser capsulotomy procedure is a simple 2-3min procedure and rarely has ocular complications. I do not ever seeing a complication associated with the procedure in the 28 years I have practiced in this medical practice. Please support the passing of this bill as it will continue to serve the aging population that are already having a hard time getting in to see the ophthalmologists. Thank you for your consideration. Kevin T Coolbaugh, OD
