It depends on your age and also on your eyes and family.
If you’re younger than 40 and have no eye problems, your doctor might recommend you get regular tests every 2 years. Or they could tell you that you don’t need any tests. Ask what they think is best for you.
If you’re 40 or older, you should get your eyes checked every 1 to 2 years.
If you’ve had eye disease in the past, or if you’re at risk for developing it, you should see an eye doctor every year.
If your child has no risk factors for eye difficulties, they should get their vision checked as a newborn and again at every annual health visit. By the time they’re 3, it will be easier for the doctor to evaluate their eyes. After the first grade, they should get eye tests every 1 to 2 years.
If you have a health situation like high blood pressure, work in a job that needs you to use your eyes a lot, or take drugs that can influence eyesight, you may need more frequent exams.
If you have type 1 diabetes, get your eyes checked within 5 years of your diagnosis and every year after that.
You’ll need an exam as soon as possible if you’re diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Have your eyes checked every year after that.
When you call to make an appointment for your exam, mention any vision problem you're having.
Before you go, list any questions you want to ask the doctor. Also, be ready to update them on any medicines you take and your eye health history.
Bring your glasses or contact lenses along with the prescription with you. The doctor might use eye drops to open up your pupils. This is called dilation. Your eyes will be sensitive to light after that.
