Opticians (Amendment) Bill 2002: Second Stage.
The Bill redefines spectacles to exclude ready-readers, afocal sunglasses and afocal goggles and defines ready-made reading glasses separately. The separation of ready-readers from the definition of spectacles in the Act, has the effect of excluding them from the provisions of section 49(1). I should point out that contact lenses with or without focal power are included in the definition of spectacles and their sale will remain regulated.
