Why do you need to “renew” the prescription if your glasses give you 20/20 already?
- everfree 3y agoTo replace broken glasses, or buy a second pair.
- khazhoux 3y agoI didn't even realize that. I buy mine online.

But why each year? I assume the Opthamologist association would say (as referenced in the article) that they need to look for ocular disease, or diseases that are detectable through eye exam (e.g. diabetes). Not clear to me!
