Yes, new lenses can often be fitted into existing frames if they are in good condition. If the frame is structurally sound, updating lenses can be a cost-effective way to maintain a familiar pair of glasses. However, if the frame is worn out or damaged, replacing both the lenses and the frame may be a better option. Checking frame compatibility with new lenses can help determine if an update is possible. Lens replacement is a practical choice for those who want to keep a favourite frame while updating their prescription.

Yes, even if vision seems clear, an eye exam can help monitor overall eye health. Some conditions, like glaucoma or macular degeneration, may not cause noticeable vision changes in the early stages. Eye strain, dryness, or discomfort may also develop over time, even with good vision. Regular exams help assess how well the eyes are functioning and detect changes that may affect future vision. People who frequently use screens, drive at night, or work in visually demanding environments may also benefit from routine check-ups.

A vision screening is a basic test that checks how well a person can see at different distances, often using an eye chart. It does not assess overall eye health or detect underlying conditions. An eye exam is a more detailed assessment that includes vision testing, prescription checks, and an evaluation of eye structures. It may involve additional tests for conditions like glaucoma or cataracts. While a vision screening can indicate if someone needs glasses, a full eye exam provides a more comprehensive understanding of eye health.
