90. An optometrist must, as regards the records of patients who have consulted the optometrist, establish and maintain the written agreements required to keep and retain such records at all times under the optometrist’s control or under the control of another optometrist or an institution.
An optometrist must, subject to the terms of a written agreement, allow an optometrist who ceases to practise in an organization to provide a copy of the records of patients who have consulted the optometrist. Each of the optometrists must collaborate so that such a situation does not compromise the rights of patients, in particular as concerns the access and the rectification of their record and the continuity of services they require.
