You should have your eyes tested every two years to ensure any vision problems are detected early. Vision loss often happens gradually so that by the time you notice changes to your vision, damage may already have been done.

Early detection is critical to ensure the best chance of successful treatment. Eye examinations can be performed by your family doctor, an ophthalmologist (medical eye specialist), or an optometrist.
