Was told that my eyeglass prescription could be converted to a contact lens prescrition by the staff. Only their eyeglass center in the lobby of the building can obtain the additional necessary information to do this. Now I have to pay for an optometrist. Very unethical for charge extra for this information and not provide it. Staff also told me that the insurance companies regulate the information they are allowed to provide, even though I don't have vision insurance. Patients have a legal right to all their medical information.
