Modernizes contact lens prescription verification by requiring encryption of health information and allowing electronic transmission.

It mandates that any protected health information sent by email by online sellers must be encrypted. Additionally, it allows individuals to electronically transmit a copy of their contact lens prescription in compliance with HIPAA privacy regulations. This change aims to enhance the security and convenience of transmitting sensitive health information.
