This proposal should include verbage that states that a licensed optometrist and/or ophthalmologist can diagnose eye disease(s) that would confirm eligibility for Vocational Rehabilitation Services.  Both professions are adequately qualified to make sure diagnoses.  At times optometrists are more accessible than ophthalmologists (especially in rural areas) and therefore it would benefit the public/patients to have the flexibility to visit either profession.  Thank you for your consideration on this matter.
