If you wear glasses, you need to visit the optometrist fairly often compared to those who don’t have corrective lenses. That said, everyone needs to visit an eye doctor fairly regularly. Optometrists usually recommend that those who wear corrective lenses visit the eye doctor every one to two years. If you don’t wear corrective lenses, you should probably schedule appointments about as often. The doctor will be able to identify potential problems in the future. If you are aging, you should also definitely visit an optical center regularly.

Corrective Lenses
If you wear glasses, you need to have an appointment at an optical center every year or two because the lenses are both a remedy and a malady. Corrective lenses and contacts correct your vision by addressing physical problems with your vision; however, they also cause greater and greater reliance on the corrective lenses in many people. For many people, their vision gets worse the longer they wear corrective lenses. Therefore, it’s important to visit the doctor frequently so that they will be able to determine if your vision is getting worse.
If your vision is not getting worse, you could also be a candidate for corrective surgery. Typically, your vision cannot get worse for several years before surgery is considered.
