And on page 17 of the Tennessee state guide below is the legal mumbo jumbo that says that they have to adhere to all federal statutes regarding release of prescriptions:

Thanks for looking that up Missy. It looks like for TN they only address contact lens prescriptions.

Edit - I just called my local Lenscrafters and asked them if there was a law and the manager told me that legally my optometrist is required to give me my prescription and that they get prescriptions from him all the time. Wonder why they wouldn't give me my prescription in years past? Well they will be giving it to me when I go in for an exam in Nov.!
