Frequently Asked Questions
When prescribed and worn properly, most people can wear contact lenses for years with little or no problems or difficulties. However, you should ALWAYS consult your doctor at the first hint of discomfort or redness.
You should only sleep in your contacts or wear them for extended periods of time if your doctor or eyecare professional recommends this. Please consult your doctor before sleeping in your contacts to make sure that it is okay for you to do so.
Since contact lenses are prescribed by brand, an easy way to know for sure if you have a contact lens prescription is to look for the actual name of your contact lenses on your prescription (an eyeglasses prescription will not have this information). In addition, a contact lens prescription will usually include the power, base curve, diameter and other specific information for your contact lenses.
Contact lens prescriptions are valid for as long as your doctor or eye care provider prescribes. This can be as long as 2 years and can vary widely depending on the regulations in the state that you live in, as well as your doctor’s recommendations for you. Please speak with your eye care provider to see how long your contact lens prescription is valid.
