How Often Should You Have an Eye Test?

How Often Should You Test Your Eyes?  

For most adults, an eye test every two years is recommended. Certain factors may require more frequent tests:  

• Wearing glasses or contact lenses  
• High screen use  
• Family history of eye disease  
• Medical conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure  

Eye Tests for Children  

Children should have their first eye test before starting school. Early detection supports learning, reading, and confidence. Follow your optometrist’s advice for regular check-ups.  

Why Regular Eye Tests Matter  

Eye tests detect serious eye conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and cataracts early, often before symptoms appear.
