Are apprentices allowed to pull contacts from inventory, be it a locked cabinet, back room, whatever?
A. Apprentices who are apprenticing for a CL license, and when the apprentice is directly supervised by a licensed CL supervisor registered with the Board, then may pull the contacts from inventory. Q. Are apprentices (with and without their immediate supervisor on duty) allowed to “place” orders, hand written, computer entry or received by phone if the prescription already exits in the office computer or patient chart? A. Apprentices are to perform the functions of optical dispensing, such as placing orders which requires an interpretation of the prescription, only when the licensed direct supervisor registered with the Board is providing direct supervision to the apprentice.
