Yes. Your contact lens prescription is only valid until the date of your next scheduled check up. This is typically 12 months from the date of your last check up. We will send you a reminder when we think you are due for another contact lens examination. Regular contact lens examinations are a core part of patient aftercare. These check ups give your Optician the chance to check the health of your eyes. We recommend that you go for a contact lens check up at least every year.
