Eye Examination Guidelines

Eye examination guidelines recommend regular check-ups, typically every 1-2 years, depending on age, risk factors, and vision health. During the exam, the eye doctor assesses visual acuity, checks for eye diseases like glaucoma or cataracts, evaluates eye alignment, and examines the health of the internal and external eye structures. Children, adults with vision issues, and seniors may need more frequent exams. Early detection through these exams helps prevent vision loss, ensures correct prescriptions for glasses or contacts, and maintains overall eye health. Regular check-ups are essential, even if you have no apparent vision problems.
