      such glasses shall be of uniform focus power in each eye and  shall  not

      for each violation. For purposes of this section, the sale or offer  for
      sale   of   each   pair  of  non-prescription  ready-to-wear  magnifying
      spectacles or glasses which fail to meet the standards of  this  section
      shall constitute a violation.
