Re: Wiring method Optometrist office
That definition is not restricted to that list. In the paragraph above that it states medical - is an optometrist in the medical field? I would be very careful in categorizing this space, They use a lot of specialized equipment with chairs not much different than dentists.

In Washington State, health care facilities require a plan check by the AHJ prior to the job starting. Have you considered asking your AHJ if this is required a health care facility.

Re: Wiring method Optometrist office
Thank you everyone for responding. We checked the internet for the definition of an optometrist and found that he or she is, in fact, a medical doctor capable of performing detailed examinations int the office. Our conclusion was, therefore, that redundant ground was required but that hospital grade recepticals were not. Thanks again for the input.

In a doctors office would it be legal to remove those orange duplexes and replace with a gfci receptacle?

An IG ground, IMO, serves no usefull purpose. I don't see why not, assuming proper permits and inspections are done as required.
