Recently I have noticed that my vision is getting worse. It is especially annoying when I am driving or at school. I seem to be getting headaches all the time and it is driving me crazy. The persciption for my right eye is stronger than the one for my right eye so I was wondering if I could wear the stronger ones in both of my eyes until I can go to the eye doctor. All the numbers except the power are the same and it is only .25 of a difference between the eyes so would this be a problem? I know I have to go to the eye doctor but I wont have time for a few weeks so is this alright? Thanks!

Call your doctor and ask them if this is a problem. They will most likely tell you not to. We would tell you not to in our office. But your doctor might be different! They know more about your CL's and your eyes than we do in here!

There is no way that will damage your eye. If it helps you see better meanwhile, there is nothing wrong with doing it. A .25 difference isn't all that much.
But remember, that you can't just guess at the best correction you need. Get yourself to your Dr. for another exam as soon as you can to find out what you really need.
Being a student, it is very important to have the best eyesight possible.

Heck no. You may really screw up your eyes big time. Its not only about the strength, but its the size as well. The reason I say this is because I have the same strength in both eyes, but I have an astigmatism in the one. I dont think you want to be stuck wearing glasses because of a bad choice. Take it from me. I did the same thing and ended up having to put drops in my eyes every couple hours
