Adults: The AOA recommends an annual eye exam for any adult who wears eyeglasses or contacts. If you don't normally need vision correction, you still need an eye exam every two to three years up to the age of 40, depending on your rate of visual change. Doctors often recommend more frequent examinations for adults with diabetes, high blood pressure and other disorders, because it can have an impact on vision and eye health.

If you are over 40, it's a good idea to have your eyes examined every one to two years to check for common age-related eye problems such as glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration.  The risk of eye disease continues to increase with advancing age, therefore, everyone over the age of 60 should be examined annually.

Children with existing vision problems or risk factors should have their eyes examined more frequently. Some common risk factors for vision problems include:

• strabismus (turned or crossed eyes)
• premature birth
• developmental delays
• family history of eye disease
• history of eye injury
• other physical illness or disease

The AOA recommends that children who wear eyeglasses or contact lenses should have their eyes examined at least every 12 months or per their eye doctor’s instructions.

It’s important to have some basic information ready at the time of your eye examination. Remember to bring the following items to your exam:

• All eyeglasses and contact lenses you routinely use, including reading glasses.
• A list of any medications you take (including dosages).
• A list of questions to ask the doctor, especially if you are interested in contact lenses or cataract surgery.
• Finally, also bring your medical or vision insurance card if you will be using it for a portion of your fees.
