Support in-office lasers by doctors of optometry
 

I support Virginia doctors of optometry performing specific laser procedures in office. Optometrists have been fully trained and are fully capable of safely and effectively performing these procedures. In fact, optometrists have been performing these procedures across the country for years very safely.
