Lenscrafters Susquehanna Valley Mall Poor Customer Service / Won't release rx to buy lenses elsewhere Selinsgrove Pennsylvania

Lets start off by getting the facts out there -
the rx - is yours - however - the expiration date BELONGS TO THE PERSCRIBING OD - MD -

THEY SET TEHSE DATES BASED OFF HOW LONG THEY WANT TO - and IN REGARDS TO LOENSCRAFTERS - THEY DO NOT SET THE DATES - AND YOU WOULD NOT BE GETTING TEH COPY FROM THEM ANYWAYS !! ALL DRS - ( except a few in CA - and NY ? ) - are INDEPENDANT CONTRACTORS - renting from lenscrafters - I will say - LC may be providing the administative help to the OD - but this is not the case everywhere -

HOWEVER _ LC does nto set these dates - the doctor did - so i would personally speak to him -

now for the rules - and regualtions for rx's - they VARY by state law - and percribign OD - some states actually state the time frame allowed - and others DO NOT - !! A doctor can expire the rx - in 1 year - or 5 years if he shooses fit -

now the Contact lens is something totally differant - unser the contact lens fairness act - these rx can nto expire in less then 1 year EXCEPT in those cases there is a medical documented reason -

FUTHERMORE !!! - the store itself can do some of the following based on the state law where they practice -

they can state that they will not sill a rx - over x years old - unless it has a expiration date -
#2- most states - can Neitralize glasses - ( IF TEHY CHOOSE TO and allowed by state law - ) however this means they must match the current glasses you have - this just not just go for power - but PD- base cuves - type ect - and even my matching your glasses - there is always room to be off - a little form the org rx - so MANY opticals do not practive this anymore - TAke for instance - say you have a pr - made form the orginal rx - then soemone nurtralizes it -and the rx - comes off a liitle differant - BUT with in TOLERANCE -- ok - then you have those neutralized - and the same thing happens - so therefore now you are off alomst a while step or even more = then your org rx -

I personally - will not neutralize any longer - I simply call the doctor office and get the actual rx form them - and by doing this - you are protected from filling an rx that should not be filled - or filling it wrong or a little off - so it is just a safer way - ratehr then having to do something over 2 times -

If you paid for a seperate eye exam, the Rx belongs to you. Ask authorities for assistance.
