The Board of Opticianry hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Declaratory Statement for Anthony D. Record, filed on February 3, 2009. The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Vol. 35, No. 10, of the March 13, 2009, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on June 1, 2009. The petition seeks the Board’s guidance regarding the clause “optical dispensing” as used in Section 484.002(9), Florida Statutes.

The Board declines to issue a declaratory statement because Section 484.002(9), Florida Statutes, is clear that an optician can interpret but not alter a prescription.

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.
