Contact Lens Rule; Ophthalmic Practice Rules

In this document, the Federal Trade Commission (the "Commission" or "FTC") issues a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on its proposed rule to implement the Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act ("the Act"), which provides for the availability of contact lens prescriptions to patients and the verification of contact lens prescriptions by prescribers. This document also proposes two clerical amendments to the Commission's Ophthalmic Practice Rules, which are designed to clarify the distinction between those Rules and the proposed Contact Lens Rule.
