How often should you have an optometrist appointment?

Answer 1

Most optometrist recommend that you see them at least once a year if you require vision correction. If you wear contacts this will probably be necessary to have your prescription checked and renewed. However, if you believe you are having vision issues you should schedule an appointment as soon as possible. Others, who have ongoing issues, suffer from a disorder which increases the risk of certain problems or are on medications that require routine check-ups or appointments might need to go more often. The best advice you could get would come from a trusted optometrist who has examined you. Family doctors and friends are often a good source of recommendations.
