The CNIB, CMA, Ophthalmologoists, and the various colleges of Physicians and surgeons across the country have come out opposed to this. As of right now the Canadian Optometric Association is compiling a large list of patients who have been diagnosed with various eye conditions that would have been caught with routine exam. The hope is that we can get this overturned as it is a dangerous precident.

I have ordered contacts from them many times, and have never had to give any actually prescription info. I just pick the prescription I need and fill in the base curve etc... all stuff you read off your old box. Never anything that would show I have a current and valid prescription tho....
