    contact lens prescription strength

    I have 20/100 vision in both eyes and I'm want to know what my contact lens prescription would be. Does anybody know how to figure this out and what it would be?

    Can't get a prescription this way.

    Sorry,

    But, I'm sure that giving your visual acuity would be a way to sidestep an exam, but that can't happen. 20/100 is obviously your visual acuity...potentially uncorrected. There are toooooo many variables in a prescription, and that can only be determined with an exam. There's too much to even begin with here.

    Just find a good doctor in your area.

    Not to mention that you should have an eye exam to evaluate the health of your eyes to make sure you are a good candidate for contact lenses.

    CL Rx by visual Acuity?

    That's like asking, "how much do I weigh if I'm 5' 8" tall?" (and the answer needs to be within +/- 2 lbs for you to be happy with the results) Get your eyes examined by a professional
