HOW OFTEN DO YOU REQUIRE AN EYE TEST?
EYE HEALTH
Eye examinations are free to everyone in Scotland under the NHS. We recommend patients take regular eye examinations every one or two years.
If you are aged 70+, are diabetic or have a family history of glaucoma or any other eye conditions, we recommend you have an eye examination once a year.
If you are under 18, we recommend an eye examination every 6 – 12 months or if you are aged 18 – 70, we recommend an examination every two years or whenever you are experiencing any symptoms.
It is important that everyone should have an eye examination every 2 years but if you fall under the above category, we recommend more regular check-ups.
