How often do i need an eye examination?
Whether a patient will only need a visual acuity test or a comprehensive eye examination, and how often, is purely driven by the current ocular health of the patient.
However, as a rule of thumb, children need less frequent comprehensive eye tests compared to adults, who should be checked at least once in two years for their overall ocular function. Doctors recommend more frequent eye check-ups during old age.
The individuals whose job is heavily demanding in terms of visual engagement, are also advised to get their eyes fully checked more often than once in two years.
When was the last time you had an eye test?
