The AOA recommends an annual eye exam for any adult who wears eyeglasses or contacts. Adults who do not need vision correction need an eye exam every two to three years up to the age of 40. More frequent examinations are necessary for adults with diabetes, high blood pressure and other disorders impacting the health of your eyes. If you are over 40, it is recommended to have your eyes examined every year to check for age-related eye problems such as presbyopia, cataracts and macular degeneration. Because the risk of eye disease continues to increase with advancing age, everyone over the age of 60 should be examined annually.
