Most adults benefit from an exam every one to two years, and yearly exams are often recommended for children, contact lens wearers, adults over 60, and people with diabetes or a family history of eye disease. Your optometrist will recommend the right schedule for you.
At what age should my child have their first eye exam?
Experts generally recommend a first exam in infancy, another before kindergarten, and regular exams through the school years. Children often don't realize they're seeing poorly, so routine exams help catch problems early.
