Don't worry: It is good to have regular eye checks, doctors encourage people to get wellness checks.

Concerned: If you have nothing wrong with your eyes, and have no specific complaints, it is not unreasonable to say that you are just 'concerned' with the health of your eyes, and that you want a full eye exam. This would be the equivalent of getting an annual physical.
