	Morales Letter Opinion No. 98-113
		The prescription files, patient records, and business records of an optometric practice are the sole property of the optometrist, but a patient may obtain a copy of his or her optometric records or may have them forwarded to another doctor by making a signed, written request to the optometrist.
		An optometrist practicing under his own name and dispensing lenses in his office as part of his optometric practice would not be required to keep separate records because it is not a separate dispensing business.
		In addition, if an optometrist who is also engaged in the business of a dispensing optician owns an interest in the practice, books, records, files, equipment or materials of another licensed optometrist, the optometrist "shall maintain a completely separate set of books, records, files, and accounts in connection therewith."
