No. A contact lens evaluation is a separate set of tests from an annual eye exam. This evaluation is a requirement every year for the issuing of a contact lens prescription, even if you have worn contacts previously.

Contact lenses are a method of correcting vision. It actually comes into “contact” with the eye and changes the way that light is focused in the eye. Because contacts are a different distance from the eye than glasses, the prescription for contacts can be very different from that of glasses.
