General Eye Exam
Everyone should have regular eye exams, although your age, your overall health and your risk of develping eye problems will determine the frequency of these exams. Optometrists generally recommend that you have an eye test every two years.
Contact Lenses
Whether you are already using a contact lens or are considering them for the first time, remember that you need professional advice to determine your contact lens prescription. It is the job of the optometrist to advise you on the type of lens best suited for you.
Paediatrics
If a child has 1 myopic parent, there is a 1 in 4 chance of becoming myopic. If a child has 2 myopic parents, there is a 1 in 2 chance. We recommend these higher risk children should be getting their eyes monitored at least annually even if they are not myopic.
