@wvgovernor Delays in Eye Care = Decline in Health
When patients wait too long for treatment, vision loss can become permanent.
Doctors of Optometry can help — safely, efficiently, and locally. Other states have proven it works.

The truth: HB 4783 isn't about Lasik at all. Optometrists should be able to provide comprehensive eye care to West Virginians. #eyecarewv #optometry

West Virginians deserve access to comprehensive eye care. Why would we force optometrists trained in these skills to refer patients to other healthcare providers with long wait times and travel requirements? It’s time to get this right. Visit https://t.co/7qnFoONmZ2 today.
