approve a refractive eye examination at least once every two years. Health
Services may authorize refractive eye examinations or eyeglass purchases on a
different schedule or frequency on a case-by-case basis. In making any
variation or authorization, Health Services may consider the AIC's release
date, past optical information, current visual acuity, and the AIC's effort and
compliance with a correctional case management plan.

authorize and provide one pair of eyeglasses when clinically indicated, at
state expense, at least once every two years.

maintenance of eyeglasses provided under this rule. Health Services will
provide for necessary repairs or replacement of eyeglasses. In the event an AIC
misuses, alters, abuses, damages (ordinary wear and tear excepted,) or destroys
a pair of eyeglasses provided under this rule, Health Services may require the
AIC to incur debt or pre-pay to provide for necessary repairs or replacement.
Any decision pursuant to this subsection shall be made after consulting with
Behavioral Health Services, and the institution or statewide ADA coordinator,
where appropriate, prior to declining to pay for a repair or
replacement.

purchase additional elective care under OAR 291-124-0085, including,
