Optoms would/will have prism added to the lenses and not write it on the RX as a means to secure a patient base. If the patient would go to another place to get their RX filled they'd have a problem. When they go back to the optom he'll give them some story about how he's the only one who can make their glasses correctly. My wife, before she married me, went to an optom that put 1/2 up and out on her OD +.75 -.25 RX. I corrected it and it took her about 2 months to get over it.Originally posted by harry a saake

I know of one optom that will not write the cylinder and axis on the RX. He'll say he forgot. Yeah, right. And would you like to buy some ocean front property in South Dakota?
