Should I get an eye exam for my contacts soon?!
Question: I haven't had an eye exam for years and I was wondering if thats really bad. I know its supposed to be a yearly update on the prescription but I've been busy and usually forget to set up an appointment anyway. Would this affect my vision and how so?

First of all, you cannot fill your contact lens/glasses perscription if it's been over a year. So if you plan on getting more contacts or new glasses you will need to see an optometrist.
Secondly, you do need to check on the health of your eyes regularly. There are lots of diseases you can get and not know about. Early detection is key for the longevity of your eye's health. Also, not being able to see well can effect your driving abilities, which can result in accidents or the suspension of your license.
Definately get in touch with an Optometrists in your area.
yes that would affect ur vision, especially if u got to squint more often. if ur eyes r not getting better, u may be straining ur eyes w/out knowing it. and that could cause ur eyesight to become worst.
I would never advise any body to not get an examination. A lot of people think they have to go to a doctor only once, and that prescription should be good for life.
