If a doctor prescribs me contacts in a another country, & i run out can i buy more in the U.S?

Question

If i go to another country lets say mexico, and get prescribed contacts and i run outand cant go back till next year , how do i buy some more in the U.S?

Answer 1

As long as the prescription can be verified than yes.  By next year you'll need another check up anyway so you'll be in the US again.

Answer 2

i think all you have to do is go to a store like walmart or some place that sells contacts and as long as you have a prescription card so they know that youve seen a doctor within the past year then you should be able to buy contacts anywhere.
