I wear contact lenses and I was wondering: could I use the prescription of my contact lenses to get glasses?

yes your contact lens rx just includes the diameter of your eye

not usually only because since contacts are close on the eye the rx is less strong but glasses sit on the face and usually the rx is stronger b/c of the difference in location

No you can't. I wanted to do the same thing, but the doc told me it's a different prescription. It has to do with the curve and thickness of your eyeball. Which they don't have to consider when prescribing glasses

No. Usually contact lens power must be 0.25 less than eye glasses' power. You had better check your eye doctor. The rule may be not apply on every eye.

Maybe you should firstly make sure should the glasses and contacts use the same prescription.

No, but if you call your eye Dr. they should have your scrip for you and you don't have to get the glasses through your eye Dr.
