Yearly visits to the eye doctor

It has been recommended by the American Optometric Association that you get your eyes checked at least once every two years for those under the age of 60, and twice yearly for those over 60. They will be able to tell you how your vision is looking (pun intended), and how to properly maintain excellent eyesight.

If you are having trouble seeing, you may need more frequent checkups to monitor your status. It is important to be careful concerning matters of the eye, and it's a very sensitive subject for a lot of people. If you are having trouble with your vision, do not be ashamed or embarrassed about it. This is why eye doctors exist, is to help you in your time of need. It is better to be honest with your doctor than simply trying to impress them with how well you can read the chart with all the letters on it, or rush in to be seen just so you can cross it off the yearly checklist. Your vision is too important to be deceitful or deceptive about!
