Aside from the obvious of OU Dioptric and Add values with prescribed prism here and there what do you folks like to see on a doc's RX script.
I really like to know the VA along with the correction so that I can help to establish realistic expectations rather than having things sound like I am making excuses when dispensing the eyewear.
Although I always take PD's at all fittings, They are nice to have on a script to know you (or the doc) are in or out of the ballpark.
One doc in our area is notorious for specifying base curves. AH.......H, I cringe when someone hands me an RX from his office.
It's always nice to see options that were discussed on the RX so that we opticians do not always have to convey the image of being salespeople.
Finally, the PAL options in today's marketplace have some docs understanding not all PAL's are created equal and therefore establish favorites.
I wouldn't have a problem with this except that most docs don't take enough time to educate themselves on new lens products that may best meet their patients eyecare needs.
Kevin.
