Usually, yes. Sometimes, they may not have your Rx in stock, so it might take a couple days to get them in.
Usually if it’s your first time wearing contacts, or if your doctor is switching you to a different brand, you receive a trial pair of your prescription to try for about a week. After trying them out, you have to go back for a follow up visit so your doctor can check your eyes with the contacts to make sure everything looks okay. After you get the OK you can order a supply. Sometimes a trial pair of your lenses has to be ordered, so it may take a little longer. But every office is different, and some don’t work this way. But you will most likely have to try them first before you order a complete supply.
If your prescription is in stock you should leave with them. Make sure that they know that you want contacts, so that they schedule time to do a fitting(different than fitting glasses) have a tech show you how to insert/removal and cleaning and storing. I assume you have never worn contacts, so just dont get frustrated. Keep with it. You should only wear them for a little while every day, and increase it slowly. Just remember to wash your hands before you remove and insert.
Good luck.
yep at costco u can
trials if they have your rx in stock—-always wash hands before putting them in and taking them out-dont sleep in them unless they are focus night and days
