New Screening Recommendation: Baseline at 40 The Academy is issuing a new eye disease screening recommendation for aging adults: adults with no signs or risk factors for eye disease get a baseline eye disease screening at age 40. The new recommendation does not replace regular visits to the ophthalmologist to treat ongoing disease or injuries, or vision examinations for eye glasses or contact lenses.
