Do you need an eye exam to get glasses?

Yes, because eyes change and do not remain the same.

Is it required? No. You can give your measurements to a lens crafter and get your glasses.

They also check for glaucoma and cataracts and a number of other eye problems.
My last visit I was told I'd probably need cataract surgery within 3 years.
A good reason to wear sunnies.
