In more detail
Residents often have prescription history scattered across countries. Anything you can bring from a previous optometrist shortens the conversation about whether your prescription is stable, which is one of the questions an assessment has to answer.
What this answer depends on
- Whether you wear contact lenses and when you last wore them
- Whether you have previous imaging or a previous prescription
- Whether your insurance will be billed
