 A physician attending the birth of a child shall cause to be
 instilled into the eyes of the newly born infant a prophylactic
 solution approved by the department.  This section shall not be

 that such treatment conflicts with the tenets and practices of a
 recognized religious denomination of which the parent or legal
 guardian is an adherent or member.
