Answer 1

Nuh-uh. The prescription is different for starters which can s***w with your eyes. That's not the big deal, though. All the other numbers on the box besides the prescription indicates the size and shape of your eye, so that the contacts fit right. Thats why the eye doctor charges a "fitting fee" for contacts. The wrong size can do all sorts of freaky stuff to your eyes, including cutting them (this just happened to me and I've had to wear my glasses for the last 3 weeks)

Answer 2

Wearing a new, never been used contact in the wrong power cannot hurt your eyes or force them to get worse.  The vision may be clear, but look smaller with the greater near-sighted power.  You may even get a headache, but it cannot damage your eyes.  Same with wearing someone else's glasses.  No damage, just discomfort, possible headache and distorted vision.

Answer 3

call your optomitrest and see what he thinks!

Answer 4

Answer 5

It's not a good idea to wear a prescription for someone else's eyesight. Your eyesight is different and therefore can change your eyesight or blur it or even make you dizzy. Why can't you wear your own? Your eye exam was performed for you not your friend. Go to your optometrist and see what he/she recommends. You don't want to chance ruining your eyes.

Answer 6

Please do not do anything like that. new or old, a contact lens used by someone else is not re commanded at all

Answer 7

If the lenses are unopened you could wear them...however i fail to understand why. In wearing a lense that is too strong you still will struggle to see and therefore your sight wont improve. If you continue to wear the lenses over time you will affect your own vision, that is by wearing a lense too strong your vision will get worse.

I would recommend going to your opticians and getting lenses of your own power.
