When should you get an eye exam?
Dr. James Stroh explains the benefit of regular eye exams. (interview on New Day Northwest)
The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends:
At age 40, adults with no signs or risk factors for eye disease should get a comprehensive medical eye evaluation if they have not previously received one.
For ages 40-54, the recommended interval for evaluations is 2 to 4 years for asymptomatic individuals, individuals without risk factors and those who’ve had a comprehensive eye examination.
For ages 55 to 64, the recommendation is every 1 to 3 years.
For ages 65 or older, the recommendation is every 1 to 2 years, even in the absence of symptoms.
