Annual Eye Health

Annual comprehensive eye health exams are a crucial component of maintaining good eye health. In addition to checking your prescription, your doctor will examine your eyes for signs of eye disease. Unlike general doctor vision screenings, yearly visits to your eye doctor offer a more complete understanding of your overall eye health.

Maintaining Good Eye Health

The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends all adults get a baseline eye exam from an ophthalmologist by age 40, when early signs of disease and vision changes may start to occur. If you have an eye disease or a risk factor for developing one, such as diabetes, high blood pressure or a family history of eye disease, you should see an ophthalmologist even if you are younger than 40. Adults age 65 and over should have a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years, or as recommended by your ophthalmologist.

What to Expect

Annual eye exams typically take about 45 to 60 minutes. During the exam the technician and doctor will review your medical history and check items including visual acuity, pupils, eye movement, side vision, correction for glasses (refraction), eye pressure and the health of the front and back of your eye. You will be dilated at these appointments so the provider can get a complete look at your eye health.

Your eye health is connected to your overall health as some systemic illnesses can be detected through an eye exam. Abnormalities seen in the eye may signal changes in other parts of the body.
