Contact Lens Rule

The Contact Lens Rule is a regulation that requires eye care providers to give patients a written prescription for contact lenses after a fitting. This prescription must include specific details like the lens brand, power, and the base curve. Patients can use this prescription to buy lenses from any retailer, not just the provider who issued it. This rule promotes transparency and competition in the contact lens market, ensuring that consumers have the freedom to choose where to purchase their lenses while protecting their right to access their prescription information.
