I ask myself the same thing.
Fortunately, these days, if you know your diopter and pupillary distance, you can go online to places like Zenni and just order them. That’s nice - I haven’t had to get my prescription re-checked in years (it never changes).

My script used to change yearly, on a serious downwards trajectory. I was 30 and got another “bad” report and started to panic. Thought I’d be blind by the time I was 40!
Doc told me they didn’t know why (this was 1991 or so), but men seemed to bottom out at 40 and not really get worse. I’ve actually had my prescription improve a few times since 40!
Y’all, get outside more. When I was working Lowe’s outdoor lawn & garden, my eyes improved significantly. At first I was squinting at small print and price stickers, after a month I was so much better. Still carried my reading glasses in my tool belt, didn’t use them nearly as much.
