| (a) In the event of the death or retirement of an optometrist
who was practicing optometry in a partnership, or with a professional
corporation or professional association, the surviving members of
the professional corporation or association may, with the written
permission of the retiring optometrist, or the deceased optometrist's
legal representative, continue to practice with the name of the deceased
or retired optometrist.
(b) The fact that such optometrist is retired or deceased
shall be clearly displayed in such a manner that such facts will be
clearly visible to the public prior to entry of the optometrist's
office or reception area. By way of an example, an appropriate professional
identifying sign might be as follows: "SMITH, JONES & BROWN,
INC. OPTOMETRISTS, Jim Smith O.D. (1912-1981), Jim Jones, O.D. Retired,
Paul Brown, O.D."
