A member asked:

Is it advisable to purchase eyeglasses frames at one store and get lenses at another place?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The second store will probably not be thrilled about this but they will put the lenses in based upon your up to date prescription. Why not get the whole thing in one place?

A member asked:

How often should I get my eyes checked? My insurance covers glasses every 2 years, but i like my frames so i haven't thought about getting my eyes checked in over 7 years. I only use my glasses when my eyes are fatigued (maybe once a month).
