The FTC prescription-release rules and Capital Vision Center
The everyday release fax at Capital Vision Center is a prescription: the eyeglass Rx after a refraction, or the contact-lens Rx once the fit is finalized, sent to the patient or a seller who requests it. An eyeglass prescription carries the sphere, cylinder, axis, and any add or prism, so an outside optician can make the lenses. Keep the confirmation so you can show the prescription was released.
