Eyeglass prescriptions normally have a maximum of two years' validity. But if your eyesight worsens faster than normal, you will have a shorter expiry period.

Is it OK to wear old prescription glasses? ›

Wearing glasses with an expired prescription won't directly harm your eyes, but it can lead to some uncomfortable vision problems. Old glasses may have scratched lenses, which can make it hard to read. Additionally, the frames may get bent out of shape so that the glasses no longer fit comfortably.

Positive numbers on an eye prescription indicate they are correcting farsightedness, while negative numbers correct shortsightedness. A larger number suggests a stronger prescription.
