For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.My daughter (age 9) wears specs and has her eyes tested every year at the opticians. On her last visit (February) I was told by the optician that she can have new specs if there is a change in the prescription. This years change in prescription was miniscule but she was still allowed new specs. I think if there was absolutely no change in prescription then there would have been no new specs. I suspect some opticians have some discretion or are willing to bend the rules. I know this is not a 'black & white' answer, but I hope it helps.
