The wording should be amended to include optometrists. We are trained to diagnose and manage eye diseases and visual impairments, and with regard to assessing a patient's needs a outfitting him with devices to aid those with low vision, we are more uniquely qualified than our ophthalmological colleagues. Including Optometry also expands access to services for Virginians. Please consider amending the language. Thank you.
