How Often Should You Replace Your Glasses or Prescription?
Vision can gradually change over time, and wearing an outdated prescription may affect comfort, clarity, and everyday visual performance.
Many people continue wearing the same glasses for years without realizing their prescription may no longer provide optimal vision. Regular eye exams help ensure your eyes and prescription stay up to date.
