Do I need an eye exam to get new glasses?

In most cases, yes. If you have a prescription from 1-2 years, you can typically use this to get your new glasses. However, even if your vision feels fine, experts recommend scheduling an eye exam to ensure you have the correct prescription and that your eyes are healthy. Vision insurance helps make this routine care more accessible and affordable so you can avoid strain or outdated prescriptions.
