Okla. Stat. tit. 63, § 63-1-510: Required eye treatment of infant - Exemption

A. It shall be the duty of any physician, midwife, or other

person attendant upon the birth of a newborn infant to ensure

treatment of the eyes of the infant with a prophylactic ophthalmic

agent as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention as prophylaxis against ophthalmia neonatorum.

B. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit a

parent or legal guardian of a newborn infant from refusing

prophylactic treatment on religious grounds or when such person

deems that it is in the best interest of the child. If the parent

or legal guardian of the newborn infant refuses the prophylactic

treatment, the health care provider shall document the refusal in

the medical file of the newborn infant.

C. The State Board of Health shall promulgate rules as

necessary to implement the provisions of this section.
