Question: 1 / 445

For how long may optometrists prescribe a controlled substance?

No more than a 14-day supply

No more than a 7-day supply

Optometrists are not licensed to prescribe controlled substances indefinitely. While they can prescribe certain medications, such as drugs for glaucoma, they are limited to a seven-day supply for controlled substances. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they either allow longer prescribing of controlled substances, which is outside of the scope of an optometrist's practice, or suggest they have unlimited prescribing abilities, which is not the case.
