How Often Should I Get a Comprehensive Eye Exam?
Most patients benefit from annual or biannual eye exams, depending on their age, health, and whether they wear corrective lenses.
-
The American Optometric Association recommends exams at 6 months old, age 3, before first grade, and every year or two after that for children.
-
For adults 18 to 60, exams are typically recommended every two years.

For adults 61 and older, yearly exams are the best way to stay on top of age-related changes.
