The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that adults with no signs or risk factors for eye disease should have a comprehensive eye exam at least every 1 to 2 years up to the age of 60, and then every year or two thereafter. Therefore, the nurse should recommend an eye examination every one to two years for the 50-year-old Black patient, unless they have any signs or risk factors for eye disease which would require more frequent examinations.
