I'm sure this is all easier to do before you actually run out of contacts, assuming you don't also own eyeglasses.

Your previous eyecare provider has to provide a copy of your charts by law, though it is a good idea to get measured often.

the last time I got an eye exam was 6 years ago.

I only go about every four years, and my old place still had my charts.

Worth a try?

I have no idea what place it is, is what I'm trying to say.

Yeah, luckily my old place was in a small town with few optometrists so finding them on the intertechbot was easy.
