Regular eye exams are crucial for healthy vision. How often you need to see your eye doctor will depend on a variety of factors including your age, eye health and family history of eye conditions. Adults under 60 can typically wait two years between exams if there are no issues. Adults over 60 should have an annual exam since they are more likely to develop eye conditions. If you wear glasses or contacts, you'll need to get checked more frequently to ensure the prescription's accuracy. At Arlington Eye Center, your eye doctor can determine the best exam schedule for your eyes and overall health.
