Optometrists in Wyoming have been performing these stated procedures for four years.  A count done earlier this year has our procedure count in the thousands with zero reported poor outcomes to our state board.  Those procedures are those patients would have had to wait extra time, usually weeks if not months, for opthalmologists to get to.  

These procedures have been performed by optometrists in differing states since the 1990's.  Optometrists are educated, trained and certified to perform the procedures outlined in the regulations as they stand.   I encourage you to proceed with no changes.
