The determination of a corrective lens prescription for
our patients is one of the most important functions of my job. It is only
surpassed in importance by the determination of any presence or potential
presence of eye disease in that patient.
That is why a great deal of time and emphasis in my
practice is spent on the process for the determination of the corrective
lens formula. Objective tests with some of the finest equipment available
is used during this process. A combination of the previous lens
prescription history, the current needs of the patient and the objective
and subjective refraction findings all help to determine the new
prescription.
All patients are given a copy of their glasses prescription.
