Ophthalmologists Recommend a Check to Establish a Baseline of Eye Health
The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends an eye disease screening for all aging adults.
The Academy now recommends that adults with no signs or risk factors for eye disease get a baseline eye disease screening at age 40 — the time when early signs of disease and changes in vision may start to occur. Based on the results of the initial screening, an ophthalmologist will prescribe the necessary intervals for follow-up exams.
