| Goal 7 | Get an eye exam |
A comprehensive eye examination is a series of tests that check your vision and eye health. It should be performed by a professional licensed optometrist or ophthalmologist. The exam includes tests for visual acuity, three-dimensional vision, peripheral vision, pupil function, and color-blindness, among other things.
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), adults between the ages of twenty and thirty-nine should complete a full exam every five to ten years, with regular checkups as needed. Adults who wear contacts should have an examination every year. Adults over the age of forty should have an exam every one to three years.[71]
