Question
Hi,
I already wear prescribed glasses, but want to switch to contact lenses. About 2 months ago, I got an exam to upgrade my prescription, but I never got around to getting new glasses with that prescription.
My regular doctor said I have to get the new glasses with the upgraded prescription first before I can get a contact exam. Is this true? Or can I just get contacts from another doctor?
Thanks
Answer
Thanks for your Question
You can het the new Contact lenses by direct examination with your Optometrist without the requirement of Eyeglasses Prescription.
