A member asked:

How often should i get my eyes checked? my insurance covers glasses every 2 years, but i like my frames so i haven't thought about getting my eyes checked in over 7 years. i only use my glasses when my eyes are fatigued (maybe once a month).

Eye exams: The recommended frequency of eye examination depends on patient age and ocular comorbidities. For young patients without eye disease or prescription, examination can be performed every 3-5 years. For older patients with eye disease or significant prescription, exams may be needed every year or even more often.
