Excerpt
To whom it may concern: The Americans for Prosperity Foundation (AFPF) is pleased to submit these comments to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for contact lenses published in the Federal Register of February, 2004. AFPF is a nationwide nonparisan grassroots organization established to advocate and protect individual rights to economic freedom and opportunity to pursue prosperity. AFPF achieves its mission through educating consumers and promoting the adoption of free-market policies. The marketplace for disposable soft contact lenses has long been distorted by a central conflct of interest - eye care professionals are permitted to prescribe what they sell and sell what they prescribe. This market anomaly has led to restrctions on competition, some of which have been established and enforced by state regulatory boards comprised of, or dominated by, eye care professionals.
