    Dispense under an O.D.

    Always wondered about this.
    Could a unlicensed person buy an optical office, have a O.D. come and test eyes, says 2 times a week and sell and dispense eyeglasses under the O.D. license during the days the O.D. is not present?

    Yes, but good luck trying to find one willing to do so. And are you closed the other 5 days per week?

    An owner does not have to be licensed and can employ an OD or optician, however the dispensary, store etc., under current legislation states a licensed dispenser must be present at all times during business hours.
