FTC Finalizes the Eyeglass Rule

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 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.

Choosing Sunglasses
Sunglasses should be worn when you are outdoors so you can protect your eyes.

You should choose sunglasses that:

FACT: UV rays are just as dangerous on cloudy days as they are on clear days.

Just like skin, eyes can accumulate harmful UV radiation on overcast days so be sure to wear proper eye and skin protection while outside.

Similar to cloudy days, cold days also carry UV risk. The sun is present year-round, which means UV rays are a constant regardless of weather. UV rays can’t be seen, but their long-term effects are extremely damaging to the eyes.
