Going to WalMart to get an eye exam and contacts today. Never worn contacts before. Do I get the contacts...?

Question

I'm going to get an eye exam today, so I can get contacts. When I get glasses I have to wait a few days after the exam to go back and get them, is it the same with contacts, or do I get the contacts the same day as the exam?

Answer 1

in some cases you get the contacts the same day unless they dont have your prescription in. they may give you some to last you until the ones they ordered for you come in.

Answer 2

ive gotten my exams and contacts from them before. you will get a pair to put in before you leave that you will put in and take out in front of them. you leave with that pair. you'll get a 6month supply (i think thats what it is) but they have to order your perscription contacts so it could take a week or two before you get them, but you'll have a temporary pair to wear until then. but good luck with the contacts, there so much easier than glasses!

Answer 3

You get to keep the pair that the eye doctor has you put in for the examination.  Soft contacts usually last about two weeks.  He'll give you the prescription right there and you can actually go straight to the eye center in Walmart and buy more contacts afterwards too.

Also, they pretty much always give you an extra case and solution every time you get an exam and sometimes even when you buy more contacts.
