Why Eye Exams Matter
A comprehensive eye exam does more than check how well you see; it’s essential in protecting your vision and detecting underlying health issues. Many eye conditions, like glaucoma or macular degeneration, show no early symptoms but can be detected during an exam. By staying proactive, we can help safeguard your vision and overall health.

How Often Should You Get an Eye Exam?
The frequency of your eye exams depends on your age, health, risk factors, and vision needs:
- Children: Starting at six months, then annually once they enter school.
- Adults: Every one to two years to monitor changes in vision and detect potential eye problems.
- Seniors: Annually, as age-related eye disease may become more common.
If you have specific health conditions like diabetes or a family history of eye disease, more frequent exams may be recommended. Consult with our team at The Eye Site for personalized recommendations.
Senior Eye Exams for Aging Eyes
As you age, your eyes undergo natural changes that can impact your vision and overall eye health. Senior eye exams are vital for detecting and managing age-related conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Regular exams also help monitor systemic health issues, such as diabetes and high blood pressure, that can affect your eyes.
Vision Exams for All Adults
Whether you rely on glasses and contact lenses or have perfect vision, routine eye exams help detect changes in your eyesight and catch conditions like dry eye syndrome, glaucoma, or diabetic retinopathy before they become severe.
Thorough Pediatric Eye Exams
Good vision is crucial for your child’s learning and development. Pediatric eye exams help ensure your child’s eyes are healthy and their vision is developing properly. From detecting early signs of myopia (nearsightedness) or strabismus (crossed eyes) to identifying vision problems that could affect school performance, these exams are essential to your child’s overall health care.
Need a Contact Lens Exam?
If you’re considering contact lenses, a standard eye exam isn’t enough. Contact lens exams go one step further by assessing your eyes' unique shape and health to ensure the lenses fit comfortably and provide optimal vision.
