Routine eye exams are important, regardless of your age or physical health. During a complete eye exam, your eye doctor will not only determine your prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses, but will also check your eyes for commgon eye diseases, assess how your eyes work together as a team and evaluate your eyes as an indicator of your overall health.

Who Needs an Eye Exam?

Adults & Seniors

• Annual Exams: Recommended for everyone, especially if you wear glasses or contacts.

• Health Tracking: Yearly exams are vital for those with diabetes or high blood pressure, as these conditions directly impact eye health.

• Age 40+: We recommend an exam every 1–2 years to screen for age-related changes like cataracts and macular degeneration.

• Age 60+: Annual exams are essential, as the risk for eye disease increases with age.

Children’s Eye Care Since nearly 25% of school-aged children have vision issues, the American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends exams at the following milestones:

• Infancy: 6 months old.

• Toddler: 3 years old.

• School-Aged: Before starting school, then annually.

High-Risk Factors for Children Your child may need more frequent exams if they have a history of: Premature birth or developmental delays; Crossed or turned eyes; A family history of eye disease or previous eye injuries.
