The Eyeglass Rule, enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), mandates that eye doctors, including optometrists and ophthalmologists, must provide patients with a copy of their eyeglass prescription immediately after an eye examination, at no extra cost. This rule allows patients to shop around for glasses without having to ask for their prescription. Recent updates to the rule, effective September 2024, require doctors to confirm that patients have received their prescription. This ensures transparency and consumer rights in the eyeglass purchasing process.

The Federal Trade Commission enforces the Eyeglass Rule.
It requires eye doctors – ophthalmologists and optometrists – to give patients a copy of their prescription,
whether they ask for it or not and before offering to sell eyeglasses. It’s the law.
Make sure they give eyeglass prescriptions at the end of the eye examination without the patient having
to ask for it and without charging an extra fee for the prescription.
Asking the patient if they want their prescription doesn’t comply with the Rule.
