How Often Should You Have an Eye Exam?

The frequency of your eye exams depends on your age and health:

Kids under 19: Recommended once a year to monitor healthy eye development.
Adults 20 to 45: Every 2 years unless you have a medical condition or vision concerns that require more frequent checkups.
Adults 45 and over: Annual eye exams are recommended as the risk of eye diseases and presbyopia (age-related difficulty focusing on close objects) increases with age.
Seniors 65 and older: Annual exams are important to closely monitor for age-related eye conditions.

We may recommend a different schedule based on your risk factors or needs.

What to Expect During Your Eye Exam

We assess your vision, check for signs of digital eye strain and dry eye, and screen for eye diseases using our diagnostic tools. These tools help us detect eye conditions early and tailor your care for the best possible results:

Fundus photography: Detailed images of the back of your eye allow us to monitor your retina and optic nerve for signs of disease or damage.
Humphrey visual field testing: This test maps your peripheral vision to help detect early changes caused by glaucoma or neurological conditions.
Pachymetry: Measuring the thickness of your cornea helps us assess your risk for glaucoma and ensures accurate eye pressure readings.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT): OCT provides high-resolution, cross-sectional images of your retina, enabling early detection of conditions like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
