I really don't know actually; I never tried when I was in America because it was cheaper to buy contacts through my optometrist using my vision insurance. So you're probably right. I was told that you could buy prescription glasses offshore without a real prescription (you just had to input the numbers), but that wasn't an American site obviously. Here in Japan, you do not need a prescription to buy contacts; you can just write down your numbers on a form and buy them over-the-counter.
