Prescription required?

Question

Do i need a prescription if i want to pick up contact lens at a drugstore? Or do i need to give the cashier anything?

Answer 1

You can't get contacts at a drugstore.  A prescription is required and it is filled at an optical department, such as Sears Optical or Lenscrafters.  

Answer 2

They don't have contact lenses at a drug store.  You need to see an eye care doctor and have them check your eyes so you can receive the proper adjustment for your prescription and fit for your eyes.

Even if you only want color-changing contacts, it's still best to go to a doctor so they'll be properly fit.

Answer 3

Are your eyes important enough to seek appropriate professional care? Then go forward and get well educated. I would suggest that you begin with reading (using magnifying eyeglasses), and find some alternative ways to enrich and strengthen your 'eyes.' I would then say that you should go to an optometrist and get a full eye examination. This will render you a positive attitude about your 'doorway to the world.' What shall we then say to these things? If GOD be for us, WHO can be against us? - Romans 8:31. The Lord daily loadeth us with BENEFITS, even the GOD of our salvation. Selah. - Psalm 68:19   Peace!!!!
