Yearly, if no ocular condition present.
Once a year
At least once a year.
The recommended frequency for adult comprehensive medical eye examinations for asymptomatic patients, and for patients who do not have risk factors for eye disease, is as follows: under 40 years—every 5 to 10 years; 40 to 54 years—every 2 to 4 years; 55 to 64 years—every 1 to 3 years; and 65 years or older—every 1 to 2 years.

Every 2 years until 60 and then yearly. If any thing is abnormal then as frequently as the abnormality dictates.
