The Secretary of Health and Human Services, acting through the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, shall conduct a study to examine the adverse and potentially adverse effects on consumers of violations by sellers of the Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act ( 15 U.S.C. 7601 et seq. ), as amended by section 2, particularly with respect to matters regarding prescription verification, business practices, and enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission of such Act. The study required by subsection
(a)shall specifically address the following: The overfilling of prescriptions with quantities of lenses such that the normal expiration dates of the prescriptions will be exceeded. The dispensing of prescriptions that have expired or are inaccurate. The failure by a seller to allow prescribers to contact the seller within 8 business hours to advise that a prescription is inaccurate or expired. The health risks to the consumer of receiving an incorrect prescription from a seller, or issues with patient access to the medically prescribed contact lenses. The economic risks to the consumer of receiving an incorrect prescription from a seller. The improper advertising to consumers about what constitutes a valid prescription or valid prescription information, or advertising that no prescription is needed. Such other matters regarding the effects on the health of the consumers from violations of the verification or sales requirements of the Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act ( 15 U.S.C. 7601 et seq. ) as the Secretary considers appropriate. Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to Congress and the Federal Trade Commission a report on the study required by subsection (a).
