Regular eye exams can help detect eye conditions and diseases early on when they are more treatable.
Additionally, these exams can also help identify general health issues such as diabetes and high blood pressure1.
For adults aged 20 to 64, a comprehensive eye exam is generally recommended at least every two years.
However, individuals with diabetes should have an eye exam at least once a year1.
These exams help ensure clear vision and promote good eye health by addressing
any potential concerns before they progress into more serious problems1.
Annual eye exams are particularly important for individuals with diabetes or those who
may be at risk of developing the disease due to factors like obesity or family history2.
Diabetes can lead to diabetic eye disease, which is a leading cause of blindness among adults2.
Regular eye exams are crucial to maintaining optimal eye health and addressing any potential issues promptly.
It is important to consult with an eye care professional for personalized recommendations regarding
the frequency of eye exams based on individual circumstances and risk factors.
