What is the prescribing authority of an Optometrist (OD) in Wyoming?

  1. Can prescribe Schedule III-V controlled substances

  2. No prescribing authority

  3. Can prescribe all schedules of controlled substances

  4. Can prescribe Schedule II-V controlled substances

The correct answer is: Can prescribe Schedule III-V controlled substances

In Wyoming, an Optometrist (OD) has the prescribing authority to prescribe Schedule III-V controlled substances. This means that they are permitted to prescribe medications classified under these schedules, which include medications with a lower potential for abuse compared to Schedule I and II controlled substances. Option B is incorrect as Optometrists in Wyoming do have prescribing authority, so they are not completely restricted from prescribing medications. Option C is incorrect because Optometrists are not authorized to prescribe all schedules of controlled substances, as this would include Schedule I and II substances which have higher potential for abuse and are more regulated. Option D is also incorrect because Optometrists are not allowed to prescribe Schedule II controlled substances in Wyoming.
