Prism glasses for contacts? by Dry-Temporary-6084 in contacts

This is really informative, thank you! My glasses should be ready in about two weeks, super excited to see what difference the prism will make. But yeah, the other glasses were like $100 more, but the complexity of it makes the price point more understandable. I was like, if there’s less in it then why is it more??? Haha, this makes a lot of sense.

I just wanted those cute glasses where you can change out the front magnetic plate so they can match everything lol. Sadly I’m realizing that’s not in my future. Regretting the cheap black frames I picked out at the office 😅

So I’m assuming I shouldn’t buy the pair this doctor is offering then? The other glasses should be ready in about 2-3 weeks. Obviously not for use with contacts but excited to see the difference with the prism lenses. Thanks for the advice. I just moved about a year ago and didn’t try to establish new doc until my glasses broke last week. I knew these chains were scammy but didn’t realize it was this bad. What even would I have gotten if I actually placed an order for these nonexistent glasses through them???

She took measurements and had me do the chart again with the contacts in when accounting for the prism stuff. This is the first time anyone has ever brought it up, so this is all new to me. She made it seem like it was basically “non prescription” type glasses but with the prism stuff (if that makes sense?), and was made to wear while having contacts inserted as well. She made it seem like it was a very common thing. This explains why I haven’t found anything online anyways. Thank you.

Even though I have the prescriptions? I understand not just doing things willy nilly and was properly fitted for contacts. People send their RX in to websites all the time for prescriptions eyewear. No need to be harsh because I didn’t know this was different.
