FAQs

How long is my prescription valid for?

To maintain up-to-date health and wellness assessments, it’s advisable to undergo an annual eye exam.

For individuals new to contact lenses or those with particular medical conditions, a one-year expiration date might apply to their contact lens prescriptions.

How often should I visit the optometrist?

Typically, it’s recommended to visit the optometrist for a comprehensive eye exam every 1 to 2 years, depending on your age, overall eye health, and any existing vision issues. If you have specific concerns or changes in your vision, it’s best to schedule an appointment regardless of the recommended timeframe. Your optometrist can provide personalized guidance based on your individual needs.
