Contact Lens Prescription?
May 15th, 2010 | See the Top Answers to this Question Below
I just got a contact lens prescription for the first tI ame. My doctor wrote my RX on it and also a contact brand name (think it was Acuve 2 weeks disposable). These lenses are horrible though. They blurr alot when I attempt to read or work with the computer. I’m interested in getting another lenses but if I were to take to take my prescription to an optical store with the doctor’s reccomendation for acuve on it, would I get rejected if attempt to disobey the doctor’s suggestion and buy another brand of contact?

Part of the contact lens rx IS the brand, so the answer is it has to be filled
with that brand.
Also we may need to look at lens power, if close work and computer are blurred, then the actual lens power could be bothering you along with just lens fit or style.
So it’s up to the Rx writing Doc to see how to make you more comfortable.
(and see what changes need to be made)
Professional contact lens fitters want to see you back in the office
to get you happy–give the Doc a call.
Yes they will reject it, by law they can only fill what the doctor has written out for you, what i would suggest is to contact your optometrist and explain to him.her that you are unhappy with the Acuvue 2 lenses and would like to try another brand….Now one thing I can tell you is they blur alot when you are reading and one the computer because you tend not to blink when you are doing these two things, try some rewettting drops that are approved for contact lenses and see i that helps, pretty much any lens will do this during these activities becasue they are drying out.
The doctor should have done a fitting which includes assessing the lens after you have worn it and modifying the fit if uncomfortable or unclear.
Return to your doctor for assessment and a different lens.
