I hate getting my eyes examined.
I still have my original boxes that my contacts came in and it has the numbers that explain what perscription my contacts are.
can I bring those in and get new ones with having to see the eye doctor?

I'd say please read the question before answering, but people won't read that either.

why is it illegal to give contact of the same power? That doesn't make sense to me.
its not a controlled substance.

If your prescription has not expired (most are usually good for a year) you can try ordering online thru 1-800Contacts or another mail order company, however, they will call your eye doctor to verify both the presciption and whether or not it has expired. Contacts are actually regulated as they are considered a "Medical prescription"
If you go back in person to where you got the contacts, they may or may not require you to have another eye exam, depends on their policy and when you had your last exam.

The numbers on the box are just a label for that box of contacts - it does not serve as a prescription in the legal sense and most places will not dispense more lenses to you if that is all you have. If your prescription is not expired (in most states this means less than one year old), you can just get a copy of it from your old eye doctor and that will allow you to buy more contacts. Your other option is to find some underground place that is not committed to doing things legally, but that is not recommended.

completely relies upon on the place you reside. specific states are extra strict and the tests will all be around $a hundred. (California and Texas, to illustrate.) different states are extra inexpensive and you gets tests for as low as $40 9 (Idaho, to illustrate.) sturdy chains to objective are EyeMart convey and Wal-Mart imaginative and prescient center.
