How often should I get my eyes checked by a doctor

I'm glad you reached out with this important question regarding your eye health. It's crucial to pay attention to our vision, especially as we age. In general, you should consider getting your eyes checked by an eye care professional: - At least once every two years if you are between the ages of 18 and 64 and have no vision problems or risk factors for eye disease. - Annually if you are over 65, have a history of eye problems, or if you wear glasses or contact lenses. - If you notice any changes in your vision, such as blurred vision, difficulty seeing at night, or any other concerning symptoms, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment right away. Additionally, certain factors such as a family history of eye disease, medical conditions like diabetes, or prolonged exposure to screens may necessitate more frequent check-ups. Always consult with your eye care professional to establish a personalized schedule that best suits your health needs. Remember, taking proactive steps in maintaining your eye health is essential for your overall well-being!
