(430 ILCS 110/1) (from Ch. 121 1/2, par. 345)
Sec. 1.
No person shall distribute or sell any eyeglasses or sunglasses unless
the eyeglasses or sunglasses are fitted with
impact resistant lenses, except
in those cases where the physician or optometrist, having found that such
lenses will not fulfill the visual requirements of the particular patient,
directs in writing the use of other lenses and gives written notification
thereof to the patient. Before they are mounted in frames, all
lenses shall be capable of withstanding an impact test
of a 5/8 inch steel ball dropped 50 inches. This test is to be conducted at
room temperature with the lens supported by a plastic tube (one inch inside
diameter and 1 1/4 inches outside diameter) with a 1/8 inch x 1/8 inch
neoprene gasket on the top edge.
