Will my prescription for Eye Glasses work for Contact Lenses?

No.  The prescription type for eyeglasses and contact lenses is entirely different.  

Glasses sit a small distance away from your eyes whereas contact lenses sit directly on the cornea (the clear front surface of your eye).  Each requires a different type of examination.  You will need to see your Eye Care Professional to obtain a valid Contact Lens prescription before purchasing any corrective or Plano contact lenses.
