On the same premises definition
On the same premises means being within the same building as the designated licensed supervising ophthalmologist or optometrist. The building occupied by the designated licensed supervising ophthalmologist or optometrist must not include space with a building or structure owned, leased or occupied by the designated licensed supervising practitioner in which the designated licensed supervising practitioner does not engage in the regular and consistent practice of ophthalmology or optometry.
On the same premises means on the same adjoining land within a certain area that is separated from other areas by barriers, walls, roads, waterways, or other clear partitions. Additionally, “area equivalent to those premises” means an area that appears at first to be separated into multiple areas by waterways, hedges, or a similar partitions, but which are actually socially accepted as comprising a single area (because the distance between them is so short, etc.).
