Want to get colored contacts, but only have prescription for clear contacts?!


Question:

Want to get colored contacts, but only have prescription for clear contacts?

If I just got a prescription for clear contacts (monthly soft lenses) a month ago, can any doctor prescribe me colored contacts based on that information. Would I have to redo the whole exam and fitting again? I can't get it from my regular doctor due to a move.

My current contacts are Proclear compatibles, -2.50, 8.6, 14.2 (both eyes).

Willow9, I can't contact you (your email/IM is disabled), but you can email me by clicking on my username.


Answers:

The lenses you wear may be available in a tinted or colored form. This should not require a new fitting.

It varies from office-to-office how they would charge you if you needed to move to a different lens make or model.

I'm not sure if you can contact me directly, but if there is a response capability to Ask Yahoo, write me with the identifying numbers and name on your current contact lens box. I would be better able to address your particular case.
