1. Don't wear someone else's prescription glasses or contacts, so it doesn’t cause a problem for you.
2. Never use someone else's prescription medication for any reason. You may not actually have the same medical condition for which that medication is prescribed. You will not know what condition you may or may not have unless and until you are examined by a doctor. Also, medication dosages are calculated for a patient's weight and height. If you take someone else's medication, it either will not work as well or at all for you. Or, it can cause a potential life threatening overdose. Also using someone else's prescription or giving your own medications are both illegal in most, if not all jurisdictions. Penalties for violating such laws vary from state to state, county to county etc.
