Referral for contact lense fitting
= Patient is referred to optometrist to be fitted for contact lens.
"Contact lens was prescribed" is a more economical way of expressing it, but as the Spanish original uses "se refiere", I'm trying to maintain the notion of referral in the translation.

Example sentence:
If you refer a patient for contact lens fitting: you should provide all relevant information to the colleague to whom you are referring the patient.
Sometimes you'll be referred to a specialist optometrist for a referral refinement.

Stephen D. Moore
: This seems to me have the right idea; I agree with Neil about keeping the verb active if possible.

Perhaps there is some EN interference in the use of "refiere", but it's what we call a referral.
