(a) A contact lens prescription may not contain, and a physician
may not require a patient to sign a form or notice that waives or disclaims
the liability of the physician for the accuracy of:
(1) the eye examination on which the contact lens prescription
furnished to the patient is based; or
(2) the contact lens prescription provided to the patient.
(b) A physician is not liable for any subsequent use of a contact
lens prescription by a patient if the physician does not reexamine the patient
and the patient's condition, age, general health, and susceptibility to an
adverse reaction caused by or related to the use of contact lenses or other
factors result in patient no longer being a proper candidate for the contact
lens or lenses prescribed.
