A member asked:
Can you wear prescription contacts with prescription glasses at the same time...?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: The powers of the eyeglass and the contact are additive. They might add up to a proper prescription for you if designed that way and some visual problems need this as a purposeful set-up. You will not like it if you put full corrective eyeglasses on top of fully corrected contact lenses.
