    Go to an eye doctor, not a Wal-Mart or Pearl or Lenscrafters. I once had an eye doctor tell me that a lot of places like Lenscrafters write prescriptions for your eyes that are less than you need. So, of course, in no time, it feels like you can’t see and you have to go back to Lenscrafters, earlier than you needed.

    Your eye doctor will do an exam, measure your eyes, and decide on what contact lenses are best for you. Then, you go back to the doctor and try on several pairs.

    well you can’t buy contacts without going to a doctor, so thats your first step, Acuvue is the brand I wear, their good

    talk to your optician. Shop around. I went to Walmart and they recommended the wrong lenses. It turns out I have an astigmatism that they did not tell me about. Talk to your eye doctor to ensure that you are ok for contacts before you do anything.

    You need to go to your eye doctor. Your eyes have to be examined and then measured for contact lenses.

    you have to go to an eye doctor to get the contact lenses. they will give you an exam then you and the doctor can decide which you can wear.

    You have to get a contact lense exam or they will not give them to you. They will also give you what you need there is nothing to worry about. I have worn contacts for 15 years it’s cake.

    well if you need a prescription contact lens you will have to go to an eye doctor to get them since you will need a prescription. and i would go with the acuve products/ the disposable ones, because most year ones dont last that long and if you lose one you have replacements.

    You have to go to the eye doctor before you can get contacts. I got to Walmart to get my contact exam, and then i go to a regular eye doctor for the other stuff. But i love Acuvue 2. They have worked best for my eyes. But the doctor will tell you which brand will be best for your eyes.
