According to the Dental Association a child should get their first eye exam when they are 6 months old, 3 years old and when they start school. After that children should have an eye exam every 2 years unless there is a risk factor (such as family history of eye disease). Adults should get an eye exam every two years if they are ages 18 to 60. If the adult has risk factors or wears contact lenses they should get an exam every year (or more if required by the doctor). Adults who wear glasses or are over the age of 60 should get their exams annually.

Eye exams should be done once a year. If you have some other eye problem the doctor may recommend you do an exam more frequently.
