• Is it normal to see things sharp for new contacts wearer?

  This is strange. Call your doctor to see if it is normal for new wearer.

• Should I take off my makeup before taking out of my contacts?

  Of course the contacts should be removed first. If you take off the makeup first,the dirt may come into your eyes and adhere on the surface of contacts. Your eyes would get infected easily.

• When should I sleep before an eye exam in the morning?

  It won't make a difference no matter when you go to sleep. Follow your regular schedule.

• Do I need to wear glasses while watching TV?

  For your prescription, it is not that necessary for you to wear glasses while watching TV, but if you really have problems while watching TV, you can buy yourself one which is only used for TV. It is possible that your vision will get worse if you wear glasses all the time.

• Would it matter if i went to an eye exam with my pupils already dialated?

  Before the exam ,you should tell the doctor you have been taking addrall.It is possible that they will be able to examine your eyes without any further dilation.

• do I need a contact lens prescription for the lens fitting?

  If you have done the contact lens fitting before , you don't need to do that again. If not, it is highly recommended for your eye health.

• Has anyone gone directly to wearing contact lenses without wearing glasses first?

  Yes you can. But you need to get an eye exam for contacts and lens fitting first to make sure there won't be any problem to wear contacts.

• Is there anyway I can get contact lenses without having a doctor prescription?

  It is illegal to sell contacts to anyone in the USA without a valid prescription by US federal law carrying a $10,000.00 fine for each offense. So I guess there is no way to get them.
