How do you know you need contacts or prescription glasses, or if your existing contact or glasses need updating? About half the people in America wear corrective lenses in some form. Many people don’t realize they have a vision issue that could be corrected until they make an appointment with Lake Nona Eye Care for a comprehensive eye exam.
Everyone’s vision changes over time. Just like the rest of our body, we need to maintain our eyes to ensure they stay healthy and function properly.
The common signs you need glasses or your existing glasses need updating include:
Getting headaches frequently
Not being able to see in the distance
Difficulty seeing at night
Your vision is blurred
Seeing double vision
If you have eye fatigue or eyestrain
Experiencing difficulty working on the computer or reading
You find yourself squinting to see
When your around light you see halos
Adjusting to lights is difficult
Though having one of these sighs doesn’t necessarily mean there is a problem with your vision, it may mean it is time for a trip to the eye doctor.
Seems simple enough, but according to WebMD, “Surprisingly, many people who care about their eyesight aren’t always that good about getting to the doctor. A survey by the American Optometric Association (AOA) found that 85 percent of people valued their sight as their most prized sense, but less than half of that group had had an eye exam in the past two or three years. What gives? “People tend not to think about preventive care…Many diseases affect the eye in such a way that you can see 20/20 until suddenly, one day you can’t,” says Dr. Lowe.
Many eye conditions don’t show any warning signs, which is why routine eye exam is so important, it can save your vision! Which is why taking care of your eyes now will pay off with better vision for years to come. Make regular eye exams part routine to ensure you will enjoy better eyesight in the future.
