For adults, the recommended frequency is having one checkup per year, or every two years depending on the age.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends a full ophthalmologic exam at the age of 40, the moment in which the first signs of diseases or change in vision may appear.
Checkups may be more frequent in cases of existing eye diseases or a family health history, diabetes or hypertension. If you are 65 or older, your eye checkups should be yearly or every two years.
Early disease detection will help improve your visual quality.
