How Often Should You Update Your Glasses Prescription?

One of the most common questions we hear in our Hamilton optical store is: “How often should I update my glasses?”

The answer depends on your age, eye health, and lifestyle but regular eye exams are essential for both clear vision and overall health.

Adults

Most adults should have an eye exam every 1–2 years. Even if your vision feels stable, small prescription changes can improve comfort, reduce headaches, and improve screen-time performance.

Kids and Teens

Children’s eyes change quickly. Regular exams help ensure they’re seeing clearly at school and during activities. Early detection of vision issues can prevent learning difficulties and eye strain.
