Can I Buy Glasses with an Expired Prescription?

At most optical stores, you may not be able to purchase glasses with an expired prescription, but at City Optics, we understand that everyone’s needs are different. That’s why we allow customers to buy glasses with an expired prescription, but only after we confirm that your vision is still comfortable with your current prescription.

How Does It Work at City Optics?

If your prescription has expired but you’re not ready for an eye test, we can use trial frames to test your vision with your existing prescription. This allows us to ensure that your eyesight is still clear and that you’re comfortable with the prescription before purchasing new glasses.

What Are Your Options?

1. Try Your Expired Prescription First: We’ll use trial frames to confirm that your vision remains clear and that the prescription still meets your needs. If it works for you, you can go ahead and order your new glasses with that prescription.

2. Update Your Prescription with an Eye Test: If you're unsure about the accuracy of your current prescription or haven’t had your eyes checked recently, you have the option to schedule a quick eye exam at City Optics. Updating your prescription ensures that your vision is as sharp and accurate as possible before you invest in new glasses.

Why Is It Important to Keep Your Prescription Up-to-Date?

Your eyes can change over time, even if you don’t notice any significant differences in your vision. An up-to-date prescription ensures that your glasses give you the best possible clarity and comfort. While we do allow you to purchase glasses with an expired prescription, we always recommend regular eye exams to keep your prescription current and your eyes healthy.
