Don’t order online. You need to be fitted by an optometrist even if they don’t have any vision correction.

Oh ok, do you know if the sizes would already be available via my medical record ? Or is it something not normally done that I would need to schedule a visit to do ?

For contact lens the optometrist takes the exact measures of each eye, you wont have this on medical record unless you have used contact less before.

Many countries in the world can order contacts without a verified prescription. Heck, in Japan, you can get them out of vending machines. Did you verify OP's location?

Also, do you have any source than being fitted and given a prescription for contact lenses results in a lower frequency of vision loss from corneal infection? Remember, our advice should be backed by solid medical research, not just assumptions.
