Section 181.4 - Delegation of Fitting of Contact Lenses

If a physician notes on a spectacle prescription "fit for contacts" or similar language and has specifically delegated to a specific optician the authority to make the additional measurements and evaluations necessary to derive the information required for a fully written contact lens prescription, the optician may dispense contact lenses to the patient even though the prescription is less than a fully written contact lens prescription.
