Prescription Legalities
Apr 21, 2006 11:30:21 After reading the 1989 Sight Testing (Examination and Prescription)(No. 2) Regulations on the GOC website, am I correct in assuming that a patient's prescription does not require a signature by a registered optometrist or medic??? |

Apr 21, 2006 21:35:13 gosh ! - you have me thinking there. I will have to look it up! You have got me!! :-) I have never heard of a prescription veing valid without the signature and current contact lens Rx's certainly need all the prescribers details as well as a signature. |
