	The Optics of an Eyeglass Prescription
		Eyeglass lenses are usually much weaker, because eyeglasses do not work by magnifying; they work by correcting focus.
		If you pick up a pair of eyeglasses and hold them at arms length, or if you look at someone else's eyeglasses as they are wearing them, what you are most likely to notice is a slight magnifying or reducing effect.
		It is true that some eyeglasses may magnify a little, just as it is true that aspirin tastes sour; but we do not take aspirin for its taste, and we do not wear eyeglasses for their magnifying effect.

		As such, these commenters argue, the automatic release of eyeglass prescriptions to all patients, including those who do not want them, is inefficient and wasteful.\37\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \36\ The Illinois Association of Ophthalmology, while supporting the rule as is, states that most consumers are aware that they are entitled to receive their eyeglass prescriptions.
		Several commenters respond that the eyeglass prescription release rule overlaps with or duplicates laws in some states, such as California and Texas, which already require the release of eyeglass prescriptions.\39\ These commenters state that, at least as to those particular states, the existence of the state law makes the federal requirement unnecessary.
		If the eyeglass prescription release rule were eliminated, additional eye care practitioners might refuse to release eyeglass prescriptions so that they could receive the economic benefits from inducing patients to purchase both an eye exam and eyeglasses from them.
