Symptoms

Even for people with no vision complaints, a comprehensive eye exam is an important part of maintaining good health. The American Optometric Association recommends adults have an eye exam every two years. And people over the age of 60 should have their eyes examined annually. Eye exams are also important for children, as they can’t always tell you how they see. School age children should have screening eye tests at school or at their doctor’s office annually. If these indicate a problem, a timely and thorough eye exam with one of our ophthalmologists or optometrists is recommended.

 

Individuals with diabetes, hypertension or a family history of glaucoma should have their eyes examined more frequently. It’s important to check with your eye care professional to determine how often you should have your eyes examined for your particular circumstances.
