How often should I have an eye exam?

[Galilea]

I was wondering how often I should have an eye exam. I am 18 and got glasses last year for driving and distance because I am nearsighted.

[Galion]

According to the analysis of most ophthalmologists, in most cases, individuals under forty should usually have an eye examination every two years. But in case of increased incident of eye diseases, an eye examination every year is strongly recommended.

Usually, it is suggested by eye doctor that people should have an eye exam half a year. And change a pair of new glasses at least 2 years/ a pair. And once you got nearsightedness, you must take good care of your eyes to avoid your eyes become more worse.
