July 2026

If you cannot remember your last eye test, July is your reminder. JulEYE is Australia’s eye‑health awareness month, created to nudge you to check your vision before problems appear.

Why regular eye tests matter

A comprehensive eye examination does more than update your glasses. It checks how clearly you see, how comfortably your eyes work together, and the health of your retina, macula and optic nerve. Many eye diseases develop quietly, so regular testing is the safest way to protect long‑term vision.

How often should you book?

As a guide:

• Adults with no symptoms: every two years
• Adults over 60, or with diabetes or a strong family history of eye disease: every year
• Children: once before school starts, then every one to two years

If you are overdue, JulEYE is the perfect time to get back on track.

Why July works so well

Mid‑year eye tests let you:

• Notice winter issues like dry eye, glare and night‑driving troubles
• Update glasses or contact lenses before the busy end of year
• Give kids a clear start for term 3
