When and how often should I have my eyes tested?
We recommend that you have a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years, depending on your age, risk factors and whether you currently wear corrective lenses.
Children need regular eye exams to detect vision problems that may interfere with learning. We are passionate about children’s eye care. Watch a video about our annual Eye Health Campaign for Grade 1s here.
