How Often Do You Need to See the Optometrist, Based on Age?
The guidelines for regular eye exams are based on age and specific health conditions. Whether you wear glasses or not, comprehensive eye examinations play a vital role in detecting and addressing potential eye problems.
The American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends annual eye exams for all wearing eyeglasses or contacts. Even if you don't require vision correction, yearly checkups are recommended. If you have conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, more frequent exams are advised due to their potential impact on vision. Those above 60 should schedule annual exams, as the risk of eye diseases increases with age.
For those over 40, it's prudent to have your eyes examined every one to two years. This ensures timely detection of age-related eye concerns like presbyopia, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Advanced EyeCare in Durango is here to provide thorough assessments tailored to your age and individual needs.
Vision Care for Children: Starting Early for Lifelong Health
Explore the importance of early eye care for children from infancy to school age. Learn about the recommended examination timeline and factors influencing a child's vision health.
Did you know that around 25% of school-aged children and 5% to 10% of pre-schoolers have vision problems? The AOA emphasizes the importance of pediatric eye exams at 6 months, age 3, and the start of school for all children. Regular checkups throughout school years are vital, identifying potential issues and ensuring your child's visual development is on track.
More frequent exams are crucial for kids with existing vision problems or risk factors. Conditions like premature birth, developmental delays, or a family history of eye diseases require extra attention. If your child wears glasses or contacts, regular annual exams, as the AOA recommends, help maintain their eye health and clear vision.
At Advanced EyeCare in Durango, we offer a welcoming environment for young patients, making children’s eye exams a comfortable and educational experience.
