How Long Do Prescription Sunglasses Usually Last?

How long do prescription sunglasses usually last can be a common question among prescription sunglass wearers? There is a two part answer. Most eyewear prescriptions are only good for two years before they expire requiring you to get a new eye exam. Even if your vision hasn’t changed significantly over that time, you still need an updated prescription every two years to get new prescription sunglasses. Assuming your prescription didn’t change, your sunglasses will last as long as you are willing to take good care of them, both the frame and the lenses.

GET YOUR NEW PRESCRIPTION GLASSES FROM REKS

If you are unclear about the expiration date on your eyeglass prescription, you can easily find it written somewhere on the prescription. You can always contact the provider of your prescription to determine when it expires.

Eye physicians are mandated to store their patient's information on file for several years, so you won't have an issue finding your prescription if you contact your eye doctor.

Having your eyesight examined every two years and updating your prescription glasses accordingly will help ensure you have the best visual experience. Doing so will also help your doctor track how your eyesight has changed over time and help you stay updated on your eye health.

So, if it has been two years, it would be best to have your eyesight checked and get an updated prescription.
