How do I know if I need glasses?
The only way to know for sure if you need glasses is to come in for an eye exam and have your vision tested by a professional.
Eyeglasses can help a variety of problems like astigmatism (a deviation is the curve of the eye that distorts vision), myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness), so there’s no one way to tell if you need glasses, but some signs you should talk to your eye doctor about include:
- Blurred vision
- Trouble seeing things far away from you (nearsightedness)
- Frequent headaches
- Poor vision at night or in the dark
- Fatigue or strain in your eyes
- Trouble reading
- Constant squinting
- Difficulty adjusting to a transition from light to dark and vice versa
- Soft “halos” appearing around lights
Even if these symptoms don’t end up meaning you need glasses, any of them alone is a good reason to get your eyes examined.
Why can’t I just get glasses from the pharmacy?
You could, but glasses that aren’t made to suit your eyes have limited effectiveness and could cause your vision to worsen over time. Plus, these glasses won’t help you if you have astigmatism or if you need a different strength lens for each eye. These premade “reading” glasses just can’t compete with the personal attention of a doctor.
