Addie....did you read the article Kay posted? It's the FTC website - the F meaning Federal, so it applies to all states.
Here is patient rights and prescription info from that site, in case you missed it:

I think part of the reason my eye doctor can get away with the way he operates is because his whole operation is all part of the Elder Service Plan that I am covered by. Most of his patients are elderly or immigrants that do not know the law or understand English very well. He is an MD where as all of the rest of his staff are opthamologists. Most eye doctors are DO's instead of MD's. He did his full internship plus full residency, at Mass Eye and Ear. One of the most prestigious facilities for what they specialize in.
