Can I Buy New Glasses with the Same Prescription?

Many people assume they need a brand-new prescription every time they buy new glasses. In reality, that's not always the case.

If your vision is still clear and comfortable, you may be able to order another pair using your existing prescription.

When can you use the same prescription?

If your prescription is still current and your eyesight hasn't noticeably changed, there's often no reason why you can't order another pair with exactly the same prescription.

This is especially common if you're buying:

• A spare pair.

• A different frame style.

• A replacement for damaged glasses.

If you're happy with how your current glasses perform, keeping the same prescription is often the simplest option.

When should you get an updated prescription?

It's worth considering an updated prescription if you:

• Notice blurred vision.

• Experience more headaches than usual.

• Squint more often.

• Feel eye strain during everyday tasks.

• Think your current glasses no longer provide the same clarity.

These changes can happen gradually, so it's important to pay attention to how your vision feels.

Don't forget your PD

If you're ordering prescription glasses online, you'll also need an accurate Pupillary Distance (PD).

This measurement helps ensure the optical centres of your lenses are correctly aligned with your eyes for comfortable vision.

Choosing a new frame

Even if you're using the same prescription, you don't have to choose the same frame.

Many people enjoy trying a different shape, colour or material while keeping the lenses exactly the same.

It's an easy way to refresh your look without changing your prescription.
