Which of the following pairs is compatible with scope of practice?

Optometrist: LASIK surgery
Ophthalmic assistant: Diagnose
Ocularist: Prescribe corrective lenses
Ophthalmic assistant: Visual acuity exam

Explanation

Answer: D - Ophthalmic assistant: Visual acuity exam

Performing a visual acuity exam is within an ophthalmic assistant’s scope of practice; however, diagnosing a patient is not. An optometrist examines eyes for defects and prescribes corrective lenses, but cannot perform LASIK surgery. An ocularist is a person who makes and sells artificial eyes and cannot prescribe corrective lenses.
