    some online shops let you upload a scan of it, do that and let them decipher the code.

      If you saw the part I censored, you’d really see how bad their handwriting was. Of course I’m not gonna share that here, but I’m staring at the paper right now, wondering what the fuck?!

        You’ve got a bunch of people who told you what’s written on it so no it’s not as bad as you think it is.

        Because in the domain of what they’re writing, there’s certain expected values, so they’re writing can get pretty wild, as long as the technical practitioner matches it to the closest value they’re expecting it works.

        And absolute worst case scenario, the technician will call the OD office.

          Do you know what it’s like to have two legal names, two legal birth certificates, and two legal SS numbers?

            you lost me here. What does this have to do with getting clarification on your prescription?

              They are not allowed to share an ‘outdated’ prescription with me, for ‘liability reasons’… ☹️

                  You got $80 bucks? When I can tell you straight up that my older prescription is better and still crystal clear…

                    Fair enough. Order your older scrip from Zenni optical, I think they are still the cheapest. They just ship from china.

                    If you live in the USA they can’t deny you a copy of your medic records. Just for formally ask for a copy.
