<human>:  Can a New Yorker get their eyes checked by Rand Paul legally?
<bot>: No, Rand Paul is not a licensed ophthalmologist. Rand Paul is a senator from Kentucky. Rand Paul was an ophthalmologist in Kentucky with ABO certification. The National Board of Ophthalmology does not recognize ABO certification. Kentucky does not require ophthalmologists to be certified. NY ophthalmologists must have approved application for licensure certifications. So no.
