(HealthDayNews) -- Regular eye exams are key to maintaining healthy eyes.

The National Eye Institute offers these tips for finding the right eye-care professional:

  • Ask family and friends about ophthalmologists or optometrists they use.
  • Ask your family doctor for a recommendation.
  • Contact a state or county association of ophthalmologists or optometrists.
  • Ask your insurance company whether it has a list of eye-care professionals covered under your plan.
