Medical Forum / General / Vision / April 2005Prescription for glasses vs contacts?
When one has vision benefits with a company, and is normally required to wear safety glasses on the job, will the eye exam prescription for glasses also work for wearing contacts, or do 2 separate eye exams have to happen to do both? === "For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them." -- Aristotle > When one has vision benefits with a company, and is normally > required to wear safety glasses on the job, will the eye exam > prescription for glasses also work for wearing contacts, or do 2 > separate eye exams have to happen to do both? You need two separate Rx's. But I assume that the OD can issue both at the same time as a result of one exam. > When one has vision benefits with a company, and is normally > required to wear safety glasses on the job, will the eye exam > prescription for glasses also work for wearing contacts, or do 2 > separate eye exams have to happen to do both? The spectacle rx will be released right after the initial exam- the cl rx will be released after the proper fitting,evaluation and followup of the contact lens. Usually, there's an additional fee for these services. frank |
