    Ophthalmologists are medical doctors and can definitely prescribe controlled substances in every state.

    ...assuming that, like other medical doctors they are licensed, have a DEA number, and have a controlled substance license for that state.

    Certainly. They just don't have a need to as often as do other specialties.
