Oh really? I didn't know that. OK...in that case, everyone should carry on with the eye doctor appointments...or else shift the rules on filling prescriptions older than a year. I'm lucky in that right now I can rely on reading glasses (that I can get without prescription--in fact she suggested that I just use different strengths for up close and distance at my eye exam last year), but I think I'm hitting the point where I may need to consider bifocals.
