Kirk Smick, OD, FAAO, of Clayton Eye Center in Morrow, GA, notes all prescriptions, including lens treatments and contact lens solutions, in the patient's health records during the exam. This allows for a "silent hand-off" to a busy optician, who then can dispense to the patient, according to the doctor’s Rxes. The doctor, in turn, can concentrate on the patient and elicit more personal responses during their visit.
