The services, lenses, spectacles, eyeglasses and appliances shall be dispensed, furnished or supplied to the intended wearer or user thereof only upon prescription issued by such physician or optometrist and only after the dispensing optician has verified that any such lenses, spectacles, eyeglasses and appliances thereto conform to such prescription; but duplications, replacements, reproductions or repetitions may be done at retail without prescription, in which event any such act shall be construed as that of a dispensing optician as if performed on the basis of the original written prescription.
