How Often Should You Really Get an Eye Exam?
Regular eye exams are more than just vision checks — they’re a vital part of your overall health.
Eye exams can detect early signs of serious health conditions such as glaucoma, diabetes, high blood pressure, and even brain tumors. Many of these conditions don’t present clear symptoms in their early stages, making timely eye checks essential.
So, how often should you get your eyes tested?
- 👶 Children: First exam at 6 months, again at 3 years, and before first grade. Annual exams if vision correction is needed.
- 👨🎓 Teens & Young Adults (18–39): Every 2 years if healthy, annually if using glasses or contacts.
- 🧑🏽🦱 Adults (40–64): Every 1–2 years, especially to screen for age-related issues like presbyopia.
- 👵 Seniors (65+): Annually to check for cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease.
Even if you have perfect vision, getting regular exams ensures you catch silent threats early. At Succexcel Eye Clinic, we use advanced technology to provide comprehensive exams for all ages.
