A member asked:
Can an optician accept insurance without one seeing an eye doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eyeglasses: Generally speaking an eyeglass prescription is usually valid for up to a year after it is written. An optician helps you to choose the style glasses you want to wear using the prescription that an optometrist or ophthalmologist has written for you.
