Health Tip: Get Regular Eye Exams
Even if you don't wear glasses
Updated: 10/29/2007 9:05:13 AM
 

(HealthDay News) - People who may not require contact lenses or glasses still need regular eye exams to diagnose and prevent eye problems.

Fairview Health Services says you should have an eye exam:

  • At least once between ages 20 and 29 if you do not wear glasses or contacts.
  • At least twice between ages 30 and 39 if you do not wear glasses or contacts.
  • Every two to four years between ages 40 and 64.
  • Every one to two years after age 65.
  • More regularly if you have certain conditions, such as diabetes; risk factors for glaucoma such as family history or being of African-American descent; or symptoms such as blurred vision or eyestrain.
