Eye Exams: An Important Part of Your Overall Health
Regular eye exams are a crucial part of maintaining good overall health. Just like a routine physical exam, eye exams help support your health by making it possible to detect potential issues early on.
Many eye conditions, like dry eye disease, myopia (nearsightedness), and glaucoma, can be effectively managed with early detection and treatment. Regular eye exams can make it possible to identify these issues early, so we can provide preventive care that’s focused on helping you maintain your vision and eye health.
Our team understands the importance of convenient access to eye care—that’s why Golden Vision has 9 optometry practices throughout California!

How Often Should You Get an Eye Exam?
The recommended frequency of eye exams can vary depending on your age, overall health, and current eye health. Generally, comprehensive eye exams are recommended based on the following schedule:
- Every year for children
- Every 1–2 years for adults aged 18–64
- Every year for adults over 65 and those with diabetes, glaucoma, or a family history of other eye diseases
Eye Exam FAQs
Does Insurance Cover Eye Exams?

What Can Be Detected in an Eye Exam?
Eye exams can help detect a variety of eye diseases and conditions, including:
- Glaucoma
- Cataracts

Can You Drive After an Eye Exam?
In some cases, eye dilation may be used during your exam. If your pupils are dilated, you may experience temporary light sensitivity and difficulty focusing at near distances. It’s best to arrange for transportation after your appointment if you receive dilation.
