A member asked:
Will an eye doctor give you contact lenses before ever getting glasses?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Rarely: If you need contact lenses, you should probably get a pair of glasses to go along with them. You shouldn't be wearing your contact lenses all day everyday. Your eyes need a break and glasses can allow you to keep your improved vision while not wearing the contacts.

Not advised: They really should not. You should always have a pair of glasses to fall back on in the event that you have trouble with or lose your contact lenses.
