Commenter: Optometrist Performing These Procedures In Another State

Support In-Office Lasers By Doctors Of Optometry
 

Optometrists are educated, trained and certified to perform the procedures outlined in the regulations. Optometry education and training supports the regulation requirements of 2 proctored sessions per procedure. As a residency trained Optometrist in Kentucky, I am performing these procedures safely in a hospital setting. I support these draft regulations.
