The rule requires eye doctors (optometrists or ophthalmologists) to give patients their eyeglass prescriptions at no extra cost. Based on the rule, you can ask for a copy of your prescription from your eye doctor after an eye exam. One more thing, please ask your doctor to include PD number (pupil distance) in your prescription.</p> </div>
