<span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,Helvetica,sans-serif">An eyeglass prescription is a pad issued by your eye doctor after an eye exam, specifying all the numbers and signs which may be used for us to process eyeglasses for you.&nbsp;<br /> Sample prescriptions are listed below:<br /> In 1978, the Federal Trade Commission passed a regulation rule known as Ophthalmic Practice Rule or Eyeglass Rule. 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.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 121212</span>
