7 Signs You May Need Glasses

There are many signs that you may need glasses—some more obvious than others. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule an appointment with an eyecare professional who can give you a comprehensive eye exam. Even if you are not experiencing any symptoms, scheduling a regular check-in with your eyecare professional is part of a good health care routine.

Look For These 7 Signs

  1. Bumping into or tripping over things
    Do you find yourself running into things more often than you used to? If you continue bumping into stuff you didn’t see coming, you may want to get your eyes checked sooner than later.
  2. Squinting, frequent headaches, rubbing your eyes, or fatigue
    Squinting at your smartphone? Blinking to bring things into focus? Eye strain is a typical warning sign that you might need glasses.
  3. Sitting too close to a digital screen
    Struggling to see what’s on the TV or your laptop and thus sitting a little too close to the screen can be both awarning sign and a cause of eye issues. Try protecting yourself from digital eye strain.
  4. Unable to see far away or up close
    Suffering from hyperopia (farsightedness) or myopia (nearsightedness) is no joke. But getting a handle on these issues earlier is the best way to prevent them from getting worse.
  5. Difficulty seeing at night
    Having difficulty with your night vision or seeing while driving later in the day? Help the problem with adaptive lenses that transition depending on the light around you.
  6. Trouble reading for any length of time or “seeing double” when reading
    Much like straining your eyes from squinting at your phone, having trouble reading or experiencing blurred lines while doing so may mean it’s time to get an eye exam.
  7. Feeling like you need to hold things farther away from you to see them better
    Difficulty focusing in on an object close to you cannot only be incredibly frustrating, but it can also lead to eye strain or eye issues like presbyopia.
