Eye exams are essential when it comes to assessing the accuracy of your vision. Your eyes play a major role in your overall health and many diseases can be detected with a routine eye examination. Everyone should have their eyes examined annually.
How To Tell If It’s Time For A New Prescription
Because our vision gradually worsens over time, it’s not always easy to determine when it’s time for a new prescription. Here are a few clues:
Headaches
Headaches are one of the first and most common symptoms associated with vision changes. Recurring headaches could be caused by your brain’s reaction to a change in your vision.
Blurry Vision
Does everything seem blurry or out-of-focus? A new prescription might be in your future. Blurry vision could also be a sign of a more serious eye condition.
Squinting
When it’s hard to see, squinting is our way of naturally trying to correct our vision. While it may seem harmless, squinting is actually very damaging to your vision long term.
Tired Eyes
If your eyes feel strained or fatigued on a daily basis, a new prescription will probably provide some much-needed relief.
Vertigo
Your old prescription could be making you dizzy. If you’ve been feeling off-balance, get your prescription checked as soon as possible.
If it’s been more than a year since your last eye exam, it’s probably time for another one.
