        • [ Frequently Asked Questions ]

        The most common questions

        The frequency depends on age, medical history, and whether there is any pre-existing eye disease. In general, periodic eye examinations are recommended even if there are no symptoms, in order to detect changes early. In patients with diabetes, glaucoma, family history, or visual symptoms, checkups may be needed more frequently.
