I haven't gotten my eyes checked since 2023 and it was at a different place in another town. But in my eye doctor appointment reminder text today, they mentioned bringing your current eye glasses prescription. Would they actually need that if it's been so long? I'm intending to get as full an eye exam as my insurance covers

No. They'll just start over. It just helps make the process go a little quicker

If you have a current pair of glasses or contacts, you can bring those. Pretty sure the prescription is hidden on the glasses somewhere or they can get measurements from them. But eyesight changes frequently, that's why they recommend you go annually.

I don't think they take prescriptions older than a year

Yeah, that prescription is expired. Youll have to get another exam.

If it's from more than a year ago, they don't really need it.
If you bring in your glasses, they'll be able to tell just from that how your eyes have changed.

If anything, not being able to find your prescription should help strengthen your case for why it's important you get your eye exam.

I got my eyes checked last month and I didn't bring anything aside from my current glasses which are roughly 15 years old. They stuck them in a machine to get a base reading.

They'll just make you do the eye exam, which is kinda comfy anyway.

They'll make you do an eye exam either way. If they know your old prescription they might skip over a couple of things, but the general exam will be the same regardless. It is useful for them to know how your vision has changed over time.

I wouldn't worry about it. ANd if you have your current glasses they can get the prescription from that.

As stated here, they can just put your current lenses under a machine to give them that prescription. The test can work from there.
