On line exam?? Ridiculous.
What’s up with the GOP in MI? I guess we should be glad it even exists, but first the TEsla ban, and now the eye exam ban. Gross crony capitalism.
Long history of this in Michigan. Passing laws to try and hold off job obsolescence. That item pricing law was passed to try and protect the jobs of unionized clerks with ticket guns in supermarkets.
Now, chains like America’s Best Eyeglasses and Contacts have offers like two pairs of eyeglasses and a “free” exam for $69.
BUT, what happens when you use or tear your last contact lens only to find out you cannot get a new set because your last exam was more than a year ago? Some time ago, a FEDERAL law was passed that made it illegal to order contacts online (or anywhere) without a YEARLY exam. Too bad if you are on the road and you lose your glasses or contacts.
Basic glasses and contacts, and their exams, are pretty reasonably priced. But, I see no need to outlaw this company. If they are giving out bogus prescriptions, there is an army of lawyers ready to teach them a lesson.
“The government can’t pass laws just to protect favored businesses from economic competition,” McNamara continued.
That’s pretty much the purpose of government these days Mr. McNamara.
