Support in-office lasers by doctors of optometry
 

I support optometry regulations to perform in-office laser procedures for many reasons. Optometric education, training and these regulations are what allow ODs to safely perform in-office procedures. Optometrists are the primary eye care providers for the majority of the country and have safely performed these procedures in many states for many years. Thank you.
