Can I use my contact lens prescription to order eyeglasses?

No—contact lens and eyeglass prescriptions are different. The reason is simple: contact lenses sit directly on your eyes, while glasses are positioned about 12 millimeters in front of them. Although the prescriptions may look similar, the power (especially for higher prescriptions) is calculated differently and cannot be used interchangeably. We recommend using a valid eyeglass prescription when ordering glasses online.
