Anyone ever contact your optometrist to get a copy of your lens rx? [View all]

Since I"m not going into places and I need to get my glasses lens replaced (un removable smudges) I thought I would contact them to send me my rx after all I did pay for it.

Still I feel funny calling them up to ask for it so I, obviously, 'am going to order them online.

Do people do this or is considered weird? Anyone have experience with online lenses? I

guess I'm burning my bridges with the office, I've been going there for 10 years.

Thanks.
