I'm in WA, and I have to upload a photo of my prescription to buy glasses from a popular online eyeglass vendor whose name rhymes with Warby Parker. My impression is that it's a state-by-state thing. In my opinion it's pretty silly require this for eyeglasses (contacts are a different matter).
Same here in TX. Got a nice bold expiration date on my prescription too, but can't remember if it's one year after I uploaded the picture or one year after the scrip was issued.
I think that there are many scenarios in which there shouldn't be a 1 year expiration date for glasses or contacts. For example, if someone has a very straightforward glasses/contact lens prescription (<2D, no astigmatism) that has not changed in years and if that person has also never had an abnormal eye exam, then there is an argument to be made about having a more open-ended expiration date.
