What to do if optemetrist gives wrong prescription?

I got my glasses prescription from the optometrist and went to the glasses store and they converted it to a contact lens prescription and i got my contact but i had problem with one of my eye so i went to the store and told them they checked my prescription and they said that the contact lense i got were infact according to the prescription ( the eye i am having problem with is the left eye no astigmatism -2.5 power) ok so they say taht go to the optometrist and get ur eyes checked again i go back and the optometrist tells me that they dont deal with contact lens problems and that i should get glasses made so now my question is if i get glasses made and my prescription is styll wrong then obviosly ill have to get a new prescription and make new glasses when i get this new prescription from my optometrist will it be my optometrist fault for giving me the wrong prescription in the first place and would he cover the cost of new lenses in my glasses?

A contact lens Rx is NOT the same as a glasses Rx and if some one "converted" as you said ..... don't go back there. You should have an exam for Contacts that will give you an accurate Rx for CL & glasses. Most places will change your Lens of glasses with in a certain time frame if the dr has indeed made a mistake and has to change your Rx. Don't wait to long though.

If someone at the "glasses store" "converted" a glasses prescription to a contact lens prescription, they need to be reported to the proper authorities for practicing without a license.
