Question about eye prescriptions.?!
Question: I was wondering how soon your eye prescription could change?
Or how fast it is possible to change.
I just got a new glasses prescription about six months ago. Give or take.
Is it possible it could have already changed?

My doctor recommended getting an eye exam every six months. So your vision may have changed. Mine usually changes every time I go to the eye doctor, which is about once or twice a year. I'm sure it depends on the individual though...
It is possible. There are several factors that can also affect rapidly changing vision though, and you may need to mention any of these (or family history of these) to your eye doctor.
Pregnancy/Breastfeeding
Hypertension
Diabetes
Macular degeneration
Recent eye injury, infection, or stress
My vision changes on average every 6 months, but not so drastically that I can not see comfortably out of the lenses I currently wear. I think it is severe, it is definitely something to get checked out.
Unless you have an underlying health problem it is not often that your eyes would change in 6 mos.---You should be sure and see a medical eye doctor to be sure you have nothing wrong in the eyes themselves---
About your current Rx---it could have been wrong from the beginning----fact is you can get 10 different Rx's from 10 different examinations and all of them be diffferent----discomfort should tell you the really bad Rx's---progressive myopia in the young is also a cause of quick change in Rx's.--most generally caused by much use of the eyes at near-point and the growing older of the person,especially until adulthood.
A change in Rx in six months is quite possible for a teenager, even likely in some cases.
It's possible, but not so common for someone older.
A very rapid change in Rx can be a pointer to any of several of conditions that go beyond normal refraction shift.
Diabetes and sclerotic cataract would be the most common of these.
I've had a few people go short-sighted with the latter faster than I could make them glasses.
It's also important to be sure that a rapid change in *vision* is actually a change in *refraction*.
Lots of other diseases having nothing to do with the need for, or strength of, glasses can affect the vision very rapidly indeed.
A definite change in vision needs an examination.
