Do i need a separate prescription if i want to get glasses and i'm now wearing contacts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Glasses and contact lens prescriptions are different. Your doctor should be able to provide you with a glasses prescription without examination is you have a current contact lens prescription.
