Have any of you had many of these "1-800....." &/or cheap contact lens suppliers hounding you for contact lens specs for your patients?? How do you handle them? I have been told that even license & unlicense opticians now HAVE to release this info to these sleeze balls.
If you do have to do this, do any of you require the patient to sign some sort of waiver or release in order to give out this info?? How about charging a "fitting fee" at the time they sign the release in order to cover the charges for taking these measurements originally (we don't charge a fitting fee if they purchase the contacts from us). We are thinking that if we have to give out this info, then the patient will have to pay the original fitting fee that was waived when they purchased the contacts from us. Would this fly???
Thanks gals & guys!! Gosh, I feel like looking for a new profession!!!
