New York – A U.S. senator is calling on the Federal Trade Commission to update regulations on eyeglass prescriptions to create more competition in the industry, which he says would lead to better deals for consumers.

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-New York, says in a statement released early Sunday that the FTC, which is reviewing its regulations on eyeglasses, should require eyecare providers to give complete eyeglass prescription information to consumers. Schumer says consumers could then use this information to shop around for the best deals on glasses.
Schumer is also calling for the FTC to require eyecare providers to verify information about a prescription to third-party sellers in a reasonable amount of time.
He adds that the FTC should pass a rule mandating that the prescriptions last longer than one year, a move Schumer says would give consumers more time to shop.
This guy has ADD or some other serious mental disorders. Tomorrow you’ll hear him fuming about that we need more belt shops or newsstands.
I had an ad from zenni for glasses for $19. I think that’s a very reasonable price on glasses. If you don’t want the extras that’s great
EVERY Sunday, when the news cycle is quiet, he issues a press release.
The old story that the most dangerous place in the world is standing between Chuck Shumer and a microphone.
He should be focusing more on how his contrived vote against the Iran deal came too little and much too late!
