How often should a person visit an eye doctor?
Anyone with a history of visual problems should get routine preventive care. People who wear contact lenses should get an exam annually. An exam every two years is sufficient for adults in their mid-twenties to mid-thirties. Yearly exams become important in the late thirties when changes in vision and focus along with eye diseases are more likely to develop. Squinting, blinking, rubbing eyes frequently, headaches, changes in vision and difficulty with visual concentration within arm’s length may be signs of eye problems and should be checked by your optometrist. http://www.uhs.umich.edu/depts/eye_clinic.html#checked http://en.wikipedia.
