All prescriptions issued by licensed optometrists shall include the license number of the optometrist as assigned by the Oklahoma Board of Examiners in Optometry.

C. A filled prescription label shall include the name and address of the pharmacy of origin, date of filling, name of patient, name of prescriber, directions for administration, and prescription number. The symptom or purpose for which the drug is being prescribed may appear on the label, if provided by the practitioner and the patient or the patient’s authorized representative so requests.
