Using eyeglass Rx for contact lenses
An eyeglass prescription is not enough to order colored contact lenses because the eyeglass and contact lens specifications are not the same. Also, you need to be evaluated and fitted for color contact lenses and given instructions on the care and handling of the contact lenses so you don't wear them out prematurely. If you currently wear glasses you should go back to your doctor and ask to be fitted with contact lenses as well. Don't forget to ask for a copy of your contact lens specifications.
