How long is a contact lens prescription good for?

Answer 1

A contact lens prescription is generally good for at least a year from the date it was issued - more in some states. However, your doctor can expire your prescription in less than a year if there are documented medical reasons why a shorter period is necessary. You must always provide a valid prescription for Prescription Contacts

Answer 2

In the US , a contact prescription in most States is valid for one year from date of issue. In some States, it can be valid for 2 years.

Answer 3

Most places will not reissue lenses if the prescription is more than a year old.
