Question: Would I have to get ANOTHER prescription for a diff brand of contact lenses?
I have prescriptions for acuvue and freshlook contacts. I would like to change to a diff brand because acuvue only goes to 8.3 and i need 8.4 or 8.6 for them to fit...for color lenses. The freshlook dry to quick. So if i wanted bausch and lomb I would have to get another prescription for those??
Answers:
Yes - your perscription is for a particular brand of contact. It seems a bit odd though that you have a perscription for lenses that don't fit. I guess you have a perscription for clear contacs and you want coloured? You do need a new perscription.
You would have to have another fitting, but the prescription should be similar.
