Sharing Glasses and Contact Lens Prescriptions through the Patient Portal

Patients may automatically be granted access to their contact lens and glasses prescriptions through the patient portal. While there's no action on your part to share prescriptions with individual patients, there are a couple of settings and preferences you need to manage:

• Enable patient portal accounts automatically
• Enable your signature to print on valid patient portal prescriptions (as required by your state)

To view and print glasses and contact lens prescriptions, patients must log into the patient portal, click the Eyewear Prescriptions tab, and click Download and View next to their latest prescriptions.

Prescriptions are displayed as a PDF, just as they would if displayed by practice staff, except the patient’s PDF includes a “Copy” watermark. Prescriptions that are older than one year include an "Expired” watermark.
