Some eye diseases, such as glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy, have no symptoms in the early stages and are usually discovered only at an advanced stage. This makes treatment difficult and hard to control. Therefore, regular routine eye examinations are very important for early diagnosis and treatment. Early detection and timely treatment can often slow or even reverse disease progression. Eye examinations usually include: visual acuity testing, intraocular pressure, eye alignment and ocular motility, visual fields, slit-lamp anterior-segment examination, pupillary light reflex, and fundus (retinal) examination. How often do you need an eye examination? Children aged 2 years and under Ensure that your child has an eye screening during routine pediatric checkups. At this age, attention should be paid to checking for strabismus, amblyopia, and childhood myopia. Children aged 3-16 Usually, from age 3 children can cooperate accurately with visual acuity testing. Thereafter, ensure that your child receives a routine eye examination once a year. Young people (17-39 years) If you have a family history of eye disease or have suffered trauma, you should promptly undergo a detailed eye examination. People with high myopia should have an eye examination including dilation once a year. Adults and older adults Older people are prone to age-related eye diseases. People in this age group should pay attention to common eye symptoms such as changes in vision, eye pain, flashes and floaters, visual distortion, dry eyes, itchy eyes, and burning sensations. To monitor changes in vision, you should have an eye examination at age 40. If you are taking medications that can cause eye diseases, such as steroids, you should have eye examinations more frequently. Consult your ophthalmologist about the follow-up interval.
