Your prescription, and what it is
Yours, written down, and yours to take anywhere.
The prescription is the output of the examination and it belongs to the person it describes. You get a copy at the end of the appointment whether or not you buy anything here, you do not have to ask for it, and you may take it to any other practice or retailer you like. A practice that makes that difficult is telling you something.
What this includes
- A written spectacle prescription at the end of every examination, unasked
- The date it was written and how long it is reasonable to rely on it
- Your pupillary distance, which a lens cannot be made without
- A separate contact lens prescription where you have been fitted for lenses
- A plain reading of what the numbers on it mean, if you want one
What this is not
- A spectacle prescription cannot be used to order contact lenses
- An old prescription is not evidence that the eye is still healthy

Booking this
You get a written copy at the end of every examination, whether or not you buy glasses here.
Where this is bounded
What we will and will not tell you here is bounded by this straight answer: An online sight test is not an eye examination.
