How long are eye prescriptions good?

Question

I need new contacts, but my last eye exam was just over a year ago. Do I need a new exam to order contacts?

Answer 1

mine is good for 2 years. I think it might depend on the insurance company. Mine pays for an exam every 2 years for me,once a year for any children under 18.

Answer 2

12 months

providing you're not diabetic or have very high BP

Answer 3

1 year unless you have some type of advanced degenerative disorder.

Answer 4

A lot of states require by law that you have to have an eye exam every year to purchase contact lenes.

Answer 5

In California,eyeglass prescriptions last every 2 years and contact lens prescriptions last every year!

You should probably schedule an exam very soon!
