Do I need another eye exam for disposable contacts lenses?!


Question: Do I need another eye exam for disposable contacts lenses!?
I got prescription glasses about two months ago!. If I want to buy the disposable contact lenses (ones that cost around $20 for 3 pairs) do I need another exam!? Couldn't I just call the optical center and ask them what they have on record from my eye exam two months ago!?

Thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
While your eyeglass Rx is still valid because it is less than two years old, you will have to have a "contact" eye exam in order to get contacts!. They need to measure your eye a couple of different ways in order to fit you with the right size lens for your eye shape!. Also, unlike regular eyeglass prescriptions that remain vaild for 2 years, contact prescriptions have to be done yearly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
