It depends on the prescription and dermatoligist
You need a contacts lens eye exam.
This exam is not a pass or fail exam. A contact lens exam is just your optometrist measuring your eye and how far you can see with contacts. That is when the left eye and right eye measurements come in. Usually the optometrist gives you a trial pair to make sure there is no irritation and no damages to the inner eye before prescribing contacts (usually a week)

No, they are not bad for you. They are there to help you. As long as you take the appropriate eye maintenance, and cleansing measures, they are fine.
this is a confusing question. I am thinking it was how can you get new contacts without an eye exam and insurance. - your exam and contact lens prescription is only good for one year from the date of service. By law no eye place is to dispense you contacts without a current eye exam due to you put them in your eyes. There is vision insurance out there that will pick up the cost of the eye exam minus a copay. most medical insurances will also cover one routine exam per year or every other year. all you need to do is call the member services number on your card.
The cost of an eye exam depends on where you live and where you go. You can expect anywhere from $50 to $150 for and eye exam, and a minimum of $100 for a pair of glasses.
In the US the cost of an eye exam can vary from each optometrist. The average rate ranges anywhere from $50 to $100 per eye exam.
You need to have a regular eye exam to determine the strength of your prescription. They will also need to measure the curve of your eye, to find contacts which will fit your eyes best.
I believe the exam is the same, but with the contact lens exam the optometrist checks and measures your eyes for the proper fitting of contacts.
There is a place called Eyeglass World. People say they are very affordable.
