I want to lend my support to The optometric laser law. This law can only help the general public and citizens of our great state. The three laser procedures that were granted under the scope of practice in Optometry will help the public to accessibility and delivering of quality care. There is definitely a backlog of patients in need of laser procedures, delay care and causing citizens to suffer with blurry vision. Continuing the statue that optometrist can deliver laser procedures to the general public, voted on by our legislators, and signed by our governor was transitioning care to those individuals which were competent to do it. 12 other states in the United States are delivering similar care. I urge everyone who is reading or listening to this Townhall to support our past and approved laser law for Optometry. Let’s keep the quality of care, high in our state .
