Can you wear contacts if one eye is stronger than the other?

Question

i dont know my exact eye vision but im 14-16 years old and one of my eyes are weaker when the other one is like 20/20. so can i still wear contacts? and you know how with glasses they make your eyes magnified? would contacts do that too? (i wouldnt want that when one eye is stonger and one is weaker when i had glasses it looked very weird one eye was huge and the other was smaller..embarassing.)

Answer 1

yup!

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Yes you can still wear contacts.  They can make the strength of each contact different.  My eyes are of the same weakness in each eye.  For my husband, one eye is weaker than the other.  When you get the contact case, it will have a "L" for left eye and an "R" for right eye.  You just have to make sure you put the correct contact in the correct spot (Left or Right).  With glasses, yes your eyes look different behind the lenses.  With contacts, it's not like that because the contact sits on top of your pupil.  It doesn't make your eyes huge or anything!

Answer 4

Yes. Its typical with most people to have one eye stronger than the other.

Answer 5

hahaha you could wear one contact, or an eyepatch over the 'weak'  one!

Answer 6

yes, the doctor, will give you a two contacts each will have a different perscription, so make sure when you talk them out, you put them in the correct spot.

Answer 7

yea u can.

one of my eyes is stronger than the other too.

each contact just has a different prescription.

Answer 8

Of course you can.  Most people have a different prescription for each eye.

Answer 9

Yes you can. If one eye really is perfect, then your doctor might only give you one contact, but I'm not positive. But many people's contacts are different strengths.

Answer 10

yep.  my good friend does.  she just buys one box for each eye

Answer 11

Yes you can, your eye doctor will order for you the right strength of contacts for each eye.  Usually they put  a sticker that says R on it on the box you will need to use for your right eye so that you dont get them confused.  

Contacts dont make your eyes look bigger or funnier like glasses do.  I have bad eyesight and I love my contacts.

Answer 12

Yes, you get a prescription for each individual eye.  Many people do.

Answer 13

yea. they have you prescription in them. so since your eyez are diff there'll be one contact especially for the left, and another for the right.

Answer 14

if you feel like it you can
