Will my optometrist automatically give me a copy of my prescription, or do I need to ask for it?

Optometrists must provide patients with a copy of their glasses prescription once it is ready and the patient has paid all the fees. Contact lens prescriptions are available following a contact lens fitting, and once the patient has paid all of the fees. If you have health conditions that affect your prescription, your optometrist may not be able to provide a prescription until your vision stabilizes.
