For anyone with risk factors
Risk factors include history of eye disease, family history of eye diseases, health issues (diabetes, hypertension), occupational demand (police, army), contact lens wearer, high refractive error, history of eye surgery (LASIK, cataract removal), on medication and so on. It is recommended that these groups of people have their eye exam once a year or as instructed by their optometrist.
