Rules for Ophthalmic Dispensing

The rules governing ophthalmic dispensing, He-P 6000, are scheduled to expire October 31, 2023.  The Executive Director is planning to make revisions to reflect the transfer to the OPLC and to incorporate appropriate sections of Plc 300.  Prior to initiating a rulemaking, however, the Executive Director is seeking input from stakeholders regarding what substantive changes, if any, should be made to the rules, such as what qualifications should apply for registration.
