Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident received the correct prescription reading glasses as ordered by an Ophthalmologist. The resident reported that, despite an eye examination and prescription for glasses provided six months prior, she had not received the prescribed glasses and was instead given a pair that did not allow her to see well. Record review confirmed the resident's last Ophthalmologist appointment and the specific prescription for reading glasses. Staff interviews further verified that the resident was not provided with the correct prescription glasses as ordered by the Ophthalmologist.
