§ 3030 Optometric Premises Inspection Authority

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can check any place where eye exams or glasses/contact lenses are given or might be given.
  • •They can also check places where glasses or contact lenses are sold, adjusted, or fitted.
  • •This rule does not let the board control or interfere with doctors who practice medicine.

Example

A store that sells glasses and does eye exams.

The board can come in and inspect the store to make sure everything is being done correctly, like giving the right eye exams or fitting glasses properly. But they can't tell a doctor how to do their medical job.
