I havent gone for an eye test in over 4 years , is that bad ?

Question

im 14 and my eyes are fine but is it bad ?

Answer 1

At your age,assuming that you are healthy, the risk is negligible. However once you get a bit older your should have a check every 2 years.

Answer 2

Yes, you should go at least every 1-2 years. I never went in my whole life until I became blurred from such a long distance, and they said I was short-sighted and needed glasses. Even though you can see fine, there can be all sorts that needs diagnosing before it get's any worse, so, I'd advise you to book an appointment.

Answer 3

If you are not suffering any symptoms its not dire . But ideally if your eyesight is good . You should have a test at least once every two years.

Answer 4

hey I'm studying optometry

No that's not so bad. it is recommended that you should test at least once every two years, but I'd say if you aren't experiencing any visual problems it's no crisis.

But people older than 40 tend to struggle more, so they must come in every 2 years.

but a check up won't do any harm...and you'll be helping your doctor paying the instalments on his expensive cars, he he.

Answer 5

Answer 6
