Would really like to see a spot where you can put an expiration date on the CL Rx. Or the original date of the exam would show up on the printed CL Rx , so we could easily put an accurate expiration date in. My opticians need to see in the dispensary order area if they are about to fill an expired Rx or not!!

The short term solution is to enter the expiration date in the Recommendations field. Information within the Recommendations box goes to the dispensary order so the optician can view it and it also prints on the printed prescription in the Recommendations field.
In version 2.3 we will be adding expiration dates for both spectacles and contact lenses.
