You don't. The optometrist has to do a contact lens evaluation and fitting. Contact lenses Rx's are done separately,not to be mistaken for routine exam. Most insurances don't cover contact lens fittings. Contact lenses do not mean you can wear an old pair of glasses as backup. You will need a good pair of glasses with current Rx properly fitted. Contact lens Rx is good for one year to the day and glasses Rx is good for two years to the day.
