As a general rule, children under the age of 19 require annual eye exams. Adults between 19-64 should have an eye exam at least every two years, and people with diabetes should have an exam at least once a year. Other health conditions assessed by your optometrist may also warrant more frequent eye examinations. Adults over 65 should have their eyes tested at least once a year. Contact lens wearers are recommended to have an annual eye health check. At Rocky Mountain Optometry, however, we realize that everyone’s eye care needs are different, when you have your first eye exam with us we will help tailor an appropriate follow-up time to promote optimal visual status and eye health.
