True or False: A prescriber can waive or disclaim liability/responsibility for the accuracy of ophthalmic goods/services dispensed by another seller.

In California, a prescriber cannot waive or disclaim liability or responsibility for the accuracy of ophthalmic goods and services provided by another seller. The reason for this is rooted in the legal expectations and responsibilities that optometrists and other prescribers have concerning the standard of care and the quality of care delivered to patients.

Prescribers have a professional obligation to ensure that the eyewear and services they recommend are safe and effective for their patients. If they were able to waive this responsibility, it could lead to substandard care and potential harm to patients, undermining the integrity of the optometry profession. The law holds prescribers accountable for ensuring that the products dispensed align with the patients' prescriptions, and as such, any delegation of responsibility for the accuracy of those products cannot be legally endorsed.

Therefore, the assertion that a prescriber can disclaim liability is false, as it contradicts the established legal framework that safeguards patient welfare and maintains professional standards within the practice of optometry.
