Which code does this activity belong in?
Optical Goods Stores primarily engage in retailing eyeglasses and contact lenses, either by fitting prescription lenses or grinding them to order on premises, as well as selling nonprescription eyeglasses. This classification is distinct from Pharmacies and Drug Stores, which sell medications and drugs rather than optical correction devices. Hearing aid stores and prosthetic supply stores, by contrast, are classified in Other Health and Personal Care Stores because they handle different types of medical equipment and supplies.
