Can I get eye glasses lenses with just my contact prescription?

Question

My old prescription for glasses doesn't fit anymore and I only have contact lenses prescription. I heard they were totally different things but is it necessary to take an eye exam for glasses?

Answer 1

Yep...we can determine a contact prescription from the glasses prescription, but not the other way around.

A glasses prescription could have several variations from the contact Rx....so, yes...you need another exam just for that.

Answer 2

You need different rx's for both. They are not really the same.

Answer 3

Yes, it is necessary.

Answer 4

Yes, it is necessary.  Just as necessary to get a specific script for contacts.
