In general, healthy adults without any eye or medical problems between the ages 20-45 should have a dilated eye exam every 5 years. Patients who wear eyeglasses or contacts should have their eyes checked and measured annually. If someone is over 45, has diabetes, glaucoma, hypertension, or other eye problem, they should be seen annually even if they have no eye problems. Patients with active eye problems or change in vision or other medical problems should consult with their doctor.

Dr. Ambati offers routine eye exams at his Eugene practice. This is a great way to be seen by a highly-skilled ophthalmologist who will thoroughly address all of your eye care needs. Below is a brief video on a talk I gave overviewing common eye problems for a general audience.
