A member asked:
Could i use my prescription for daily disposable contact lenses for weekly/monthly type of contacts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: Most suppliers of contact lenses want the exact prescription in every detail and will not accept a daily wear lens prescription as a substitute for any other type.
