My vision still isn't perfect though so I wear glasses for driving.<br /> @lilteacherbee: with my vision insurance they cover the exam and then you can get glasses-even non prescription sunglasses- as part of your benefit after you have had LASIK. So I got coach sunglasses for very little since my insurance paid most of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-wear-glasses-or-contacts#post-2031811 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 22:44:57 +0000 Astro Bee 2031811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one every 5 years as part of my routine physical for my job. No issues yet. </p> <p>@Tanjowen: just curious. What did your parents do when you/they were sick? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-wear-glasses-or-contacts#post-2031802 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 22:36:49 +0000 hellobeeboston 2031802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't even remember the last time. Middle school?? I'm 35 this week but my vision is fine (no glasses or contacts) so I figure why pay for the exam? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-wear-glasses-or-contacts#post-2031772 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 21:58:16 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2031772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had one a few years ago for the first time. I do have to do the eye chart each year as part of my annual exam. If that wasn't 20/20, I would go to the eye doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-wear-glasses-or-contacts#post-2030646 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 10:33:28 +0000 Tanjowen 2030646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never been to an eye doctor...in my defense my parents didn't take us to doctors growing up and I didn't have insurance until I was married, and then it just didn't seem like a big deal because I don't "feel" like I have any issues. This year I plan to finally go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-wear-glasses-or-contacts#post-2030628 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 10:28:35 +0000 lilteacherbee 2030628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had LASIK 4 years ago and I haven't had an eye exam since. I feel like I probably should, though because at a recent routine physical, they checked my eyes and said one is now 20/30 instead of 20/20. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-wear-glasses-or-contacts#post-2030623 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 10:26:31 +0000 blackbird 2030623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have mine done every 5 years or so....if i want to get a pair of replacement glasses at work. They're just for reading and computer stress, and haven't changed in 15+ years. I just feel like it's a PITA to go, and i hate having my eyes dilated </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-wear-glasses-or-contacts#post-2030619 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 10:25:19 +0000 .twist. 2030619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I had an eye exam 4 or 5 years ago? I got a pair of glasses for night driving. I never wear them unless I'm watching tv in the evenings and get a headache. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-wear-glasses-or-contacts#post-2030616 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 10:25:01 +0000 Anagram 2030616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the first one since I was probably a teen this past year--I was having unrelated eye problems and when I went to get those checked out, the eye doctor had me to a regular eye checkup while I was there.</p> <p>I still have 20/20 vision, but I'm getting older so I am kind of playing a game of chicken by not having vision insurance each year, and hoping to start getting insurance once I need it, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-wear-glasses-or-contacts#post-2030609 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 10:22:45 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2030609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made my husband go for the first time as an adult last year. If you're healthy otherwise, maybe every couple of years? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-wear-glasses-or-contacts#post-2030595 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 10:18:31 +0000 Mamaof2 2030595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>.... how often do you get an eye exam? I think my eyesight is fine but my Dr suggested I get one this year (turning 40)</p> <p>I think the last one I got was about 20 yrs ago! </p>
