How often should retinal imaging be done (annually, bi-annually) and at what age should it start?
ANSWER
Hi Sandra,
Retinal imaging can be done at any age. Eye diseases are more common as we age, but can occur at anytime. Generally it is recommended that adults have their eyes examined every 1-2 years. The frequency depends on your history and risk factors for the possible development of eye disease. Your optometrist can advise you on what would be best for you.
