Online contact lens buyers would get safer, easier ways to share prescriptions.
This bill would make buying contact lenses online more secure and convenient. It would require online sellers to offer electronic ways for customers to send their prescriptions. They would also need to encrypt any personal health information sent by email. This means better privacy and easier processes for people who buy contacts online.
Today, online sellers are not specifically required to offer electronic prescription submission methods or to encrypt emails containing protected health information. Contact lens prescriptions do not always include an email address, and automated calls can be used for prescription verification. If this bill passes, online sellers would need to provide electronic submission options and encrypt emails with health data, prescriptions would be required to include email addresses, and automated calls would no longer be considered valid for verifying prescriptions.
