complex lens and this requires a detailed fit and time. 11/03/2016: In response to the patient’s request for a contact lens Rx; the patient was informed the doctor had not finalized anything yet because we were waiting to hear back from the patient in regards to her insurance coverage. The doctor did NOT do a fitting and had not ordered her any trial lenses. 11/04/2016: Patient again called wanting her contact lens Rx faxed to her. Again, it was explained a contact lens exam was not done just an overall eye health and glasses exam. An explanation was provided in regards to what was involved in a contact lens fitting. A contact lens Rx cannot be released until the fit is examined, followed and completed. We had not even ordered a lens to evaluate, therefore, no final Rx existed. 11/05/2016: The doctor called the patient and left a message that a contact lens Rx had not been fitted or followed so therefore no Rx was written. We have to consult with the lab, design the lens and follow it the first time through. 11/07/2016: The patient no showed for a scheduled appointment to address this issue. Thank you.
