The Board of Opticianry hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Declaratory Statement for Amy Arcand. The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Vol. 34, No. 39, of the September 26, 2008, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on November 7, 2008. The petition inquired as to the following questions: whether a licensed optician can oversee a trained person and allow him or her to prepare or dispense lenses, spectacles, eyeglasses, contact lenses, or optical devices when such a person is not licensed as an optician in Florida; and whether a

licensed optician can oversee a trained person and allow him or her to fit or dispense any lenses, spectacles, eyeglasses or other optical devices.

The Board declines to issue a declaratory statement because Section 484.011, Florida Statutes, is clear regarding these questions.

A copy of the Board’s Order may be obtained by contacting: Sue Foster, Executive Director, Board of Opticianry, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C08, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3258.
