There’s no single answer — it depends on your age, health history, and risk factors. As a general guideline:

  • Adults with no known eye conditions: every one to two years
  • Adults over 60, or with risk factors like diabetes, high blood pressure, a family history of glaucoma, or a high glasses prescription: annually or as recommended
  • Children: at key developmental stages, or as advised — catching vision problems early makes a real difference
  • Your doctor will recommend a schedule based on your specific situation.
