Please support the regulations for optometric use of lasers as presented. As an optometrist with over 35 years of experience I have taken many continuing education courses. I took the course that was presented by an accredited school of optometry. Currently 12 states allow optometrists to use lasers and over 145,000 procedures have been done.
The draft regulations were created with input from both optometry and ophthalmology. Please support these regulations as presented as they include proctored training sessions.
Thank you.
