Or should I schedule/pay for another exam before getting a replacement? Obviously, I'd prefer not to have to undergo the time and $ that goes with another exam but not sure if the 6-month old prescription would be okay to use.
I would use it if it were me...not another appt. Believe it or not, I'm using the same prescriptions for reading and distance for about 10 yrs. Eyes really not changing as I do take eye supplements.
I don't know if the laws vary by state but here in Texas it needs to be less than one year old. I have taken a 9 or 10 month old prescription in to get new glasses. If you were planning on keeping your glasses for a year at least, there should be no problem getting a replacement pair with the existing prescription.
Good grief but you'd have a bigger problem if your prescription changed in 6 weeks.
My wife is still using a paid of prescription sunglasses bought in 2005. My dad went for several decades using Gov issues glasses/lenses he got in Vietnam. You're fine with a 6 week difference.

I had cataract surgery in January of 2017. I got my new prescription in April of 2017, and still don't have new bifocals. I just can't afford them yet, so by the time that I can, I'll need a new prescription.
If you were seeing fine before your glasses broke, no problem getting the same Rx. If you were noticing any issues, then IMO it would be worth getting your vision checked so that you can get the max usage out of the new glasses.
Although I'm curious about whether it was the lens or the frame that broke? If it was the frame, they should be able to get a replacement frame that will fit the same lenses. I've had to do that a couple of times - my vision is pretty bad so the lenses are the $$$ part of new glasses for me, and it was definitely worth keeping the same lenses in a second frame when the lenses were still good.
