,A) Oral acetazolamide
B) Topical beta-blockers and topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
C) Intravenous mannitol

anhydrase inhibitors
Rationale: Michigan optometrists with TPA certification may prescribe
topical glaucoma agents but cannot prescribe oral or IV medications
except under specific collaborative arrangements.

A) The violation is minor and has no patient harm
B) The optometrist is a personal friend of the violator
C) The violation presents an imminent danger to public health or
safety
D) The violation happened more than five years ago
Correct Answer: C – The violation presents an imminent danger to
public health or safety

substantial risk of harm; the Code does not require reporting minor or
historical infractions.

written prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses after the last date of
service?
A) 2 years
B) 3 years
