Ophthalmic lenses are also known as glasses or spectacles. "Ophthalmic lens" includes an ophthalmic lens that may be adjusted by the wearer to achieve different types of visual correction or enhancement.  

"Ophthalmic lens" does not include an optical instrument or device that is sold without consideration of the visual status of the individual who will use the optical instrument or device.  

"Optometrist-patient relationship" includes the relationship established between a licensee who uses telehealth in providing optometric care and a patient who receives telehealth services through consultation with another licensee or other health care provider who has an established relationship with the patient upon agreement to participate in, or supervise, the patient's care through telehealth, if the standard of care does not require an in-person encounter, and in accordance with evidence-based standards of practice and telehealth practice guidelines that address the clinical and technological aspects of telemedicine.  

Nothing in this definition prevents an individual or person from merely doing the mechanical work associated with adapting, fitting, bending, adjusting, providing, replacing or duplicating of eyeglasses with ophthalmic lenses.
