Which of the following activities would an OD in retired status likely be involved in?

An optometrist in retired status may still wish to engage in community service or charitable activities that utilize their skills and knowledge. Providing free eye exams at local clinics is a way for retired optometrists to use their expertise to benefit the community, particularly underserved populations who may not have easy access to eye care. This involvement reflects a commitment to service and the ongoing mission of optometrists to enhance public health.

In contrast, activities such as conducting research for pharmaceutical companies or selling optical products in retail shops typically require an active license, as these activities are considered part of practicing optometry. Competing in optometric competitions also generally involves active participation in the profession, which is not aligned with a retired status. Therefore, participating in community service through free eye exams stands out as a meaningful way for a retired optometrist to remain connected to the profession while complying with their retired status.
