Contact lenses question

If the specs (power, etc.) for the right eye are the same as left eye,
can I use the left lens in my right eye, and vice versa?

Or in different words, does contact lenses come dedicated for a
specific eye or they could be used in any side that match their specs?

Sorry never used them!!!

Also, can I ask for a contact lenses prescription during the same visit
(yearly) to the doctor that is covered under the insurance plan for
glasses, or it will not be covered?

Thanks

If the contact lens specifiactions are the same you can. If you are
referring to the spectacle prescription than maybe, maybe not, depends on
how the contact lenses fit each eye.

You will have to ask this question of your insurer. There will be an
additional fee for fitting the contact lens and your insurance may or may
not cover contact lens fitting.
