THAN LICENSED OPTOMETRIST OR PHYSICIAN PROHIBITED -- EXCEPTION. It shall be
unlawful for any person other than a licensed optometrist or physician to
accept or offer to accept for purpose of duplication any ophthalmic lens or
prism ordinarily used before the human eye for corrective purposes, or for
assisting vision; provided, however, that any manufacturing, dispensing or
surfacing optician is hereby permitted to grind or supply, dispense, replace
or duplicate any such lens in conformity with the prescription or instruction
of any optometrist or physician duly licensed to practice within the state of
Idaho. Contact lenses may be sold or dispensed in a retail or wholesale outlet
or other permanently established place of business with an optical department
only when the prescription specifically states on its face that it is intended
for contact lenses and includes the type and specifications of the contact
lens being prescribed.
