Arizona MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

What is the expiration date for soft contact lenses prescribed in Arizona?

1. One year after the date of issuance or as prescribed

2. Six months after the date of issuance

3. Based on manufacturer recommendations only

4. Two years after the date of issuance

The correct answer is: One year after the date of issuance or as prescribed

Contact lenses typically have an expiration date of one year after the date of issuance in Arizona, as stated in option A. This is due to the fact that contact lenses can accumulate deposits and bacteria over time, which can cause discomfort and potential eye infections. Option B, which suggests a shorter expiration date of six months, may be too soon and may result in unnecessary lens replacements. Option C, which suggests relying solely on manufacturer recommendations, may not take into account the individual needs and usage of the lenses. Option D, which suggests a longer expiration date of two years, may be too long and could potentially cause eye health issues. Therefore, option A provides the most appropriate and safe expiration date for soft contact lenses prescribed in Arizona.
