Selecting your Optical Prescription Form
...
Out of the box MacPractice does not have an Optical prescription form selected by default. You can always choose the form you'd like to use from the Optical Ability itself, but to save time, we'll set a default Optical Prescription Form.
MacPractice provides a basic Optical Prescription Form. In order to select it, you'll first navigate to the MacPractice Menu and select Preferences.
...
Select Forms in the sidebar. Then, select the "Optical Rx" or another form on the "Optical Rx Form" drop down.
...
The bottom half of the Optical view is separated into the Eye Wear tab and the Contact Lenses tab. These are used to fill out an Optical prescription for the patient in question. Drop down menus pull from the relevant Optical Reference, as discussed in in the previous section Managing Optical References.
You can type into any drop down field to add a reference on the fly. For example, if I wanted to add "Test Company" to the "Frame Company" field under the Eye Wear tab, I could simply type in "Test Company", which will add that to the Frame Company reference.
When you have filled out information to your satisfaction, you can then print an Optical Prescription by clicking the "Print Rx" button in the lower right hand corner. This requires that an "Rx Form" is selected by the Print Rx button. This should be pre-selected if you followed the steps in Selecting in Selecting your Optical Prescription Form.
