The honest way to get American Eyewear Center's fax number
An independent practice's fax number changes with staffing and phone systems, so confirm American Eyewear Center's before you send.

The fax setup at an eye care office like American Eyewear Center
A optical and eye care practice like American Eyewear Center typically keeps one or two working fax lines rather than a hospital's web of department numbers. The catch is that a single-office practice's working line moves more often than a big hospital's, so an old listing goes stale. A short call settles which number and which staff member should receive it.
