.Optometrists do not typically measure Pupillary Distances (PD) as part of the ocular health examination.  This is typically performed by an optician who is measuring patients for glasses.  They use equipment specifically designed for this activity, which most optometrists do not use as part of an eye examination.  If one is recorded in the record it typically is included in measurements taken by a computerized pre-testing device. These measurements are approximations and typically not accurate enough by which to prescrib or fit glasses.  The proposed regulation would require an Optometrist to measure the patients PD rather than authorizing them to delegate this duty to a licensed Optician or entity. Thus the practice of requiring an Optometrist to measure a patient's PD rather than allowing other licensed individuals, such as an Optician or an Ophthalmologists, would be discriminatory in nature. Additionally, if the glasses are not purchased from the same establishement who would be required to perform the PD Measurement, there would need to be a charge to the patient for such measurement, as it is not part of the ocular health examination.  Please do note place this discriminatory language into action.
