How long will eyeglass makers honor an eye exam

If its over a year are they legally supposed to not
honor it?

It depends on the state you live in. In most states it is one year unless
otherwise stated on the Rx. It may also differ if the Rx is for contacts.
You can google and probably get the answer.

Ask an independent optician (the ones without the doctor offices attached).
They would have no reason to lie about that.

You can also contact your state regulatory board. Search the Sate of
Missouri website for contact info.

Most likely it is one year. Same applies to drug prescriptions.
