A: For adults with healthy eyes, we recommend a comprehensive eye exam every 1-2 years. However, if you're over 60, have a family history of eye diseases, or have conditions like diabetes, you may need more frequent exams. Children should have their first comprehensive eye exam at 6 months, then at 3 years, and before starting school
