“Washington, has prescriptions good for two years … Unless. The Dr decides that it is only good for one year.”

Our family changed optometrists over their “good for one year” policy. Their interpretation was that the starting date of the “good for” period coincided with the date of the prior exam … regardless of how long before the exam had been. In our case it was twenty-three months. So the (proposed) exam covered the prior eleven months plus the next one month. “Your next exam is coming up in a month, so why don’t we schedule both exams now” the clerk cheerfully suggested.
