I mean, getting contacts/glasses without a prescription isn't going to do you much good. It's a little odd that it's mandatory, but I can't imagine any reason you'd want to do otherwise.
- scotty79 9y agoIf your last glasses broke somehow you can get new ones just buy measuring old lenses and making new ones same.

- toomanybeersies 9y agoI last got a prescription about 4 or 5 years ago, I haven't needed a new one since, my eyes haven't changed that much. In that time, I've also bought 4 or 5 pairs of glasses, I got Specsavers to print off my prescription, and just buy them online. It was interesting trying to get my prescription from Specsavers. By law, they are required to provide it if I ask for it, but they really didn't want to make it easy. They actually make a loss on eye tests ($30 for 20 minutes of an optometrist), because all their profit is in the glasses, so if I take my prescription elsewhere, I'm costing them money.
