A member asked:
My contact lens prescription is the same in both eye, is that common?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is: It is more usual for the two eyes to have similar prescriptions than to have wildly varying ones. There is often a small variability between the two eyes, but they can be remarkably similar.
