Do you need glasses? About 60 percent of people around the world need vision correction and you could be one of them. But you should not worry too much over your struggle to see things clearly. Most people can have 20/20 vision with their eye doctor’s help. Of course, the first step is to see your eye doctor for a vision exam.

Blurred Vision

Vision problems can start subtly over a lengthy period of time and indicate you need to see your eye doctor. But soon, you find yourself squinting to see details you once saw more clearly. As we age, our near vision becomes fuzzy, making it difficult to read or make out details on our smartphones. Kids typically show signs of vision problems when they start attending school and struggle with their grades. Some people struggle with near and far vision because of astigmatism or other conditions.
 

Night Vision Difficulty

Difficulty seeing at night is more common in aging adults. Symptoms include fading vision that makes it hard for you to drive in dark hours. Your changing vision is dangerous if you continue getting behind the wheel of your car at night. It also indicates the possibility of early cataracts. See your eye doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
 

Difficulty Transitioning from Dark to Light

Do your eyes struggle to adapt to changing light conditions? People with these issues often remark that their eyes take too long to see clearly after exposure to bright car lights on the highway at night. This difficulty is an indication of weakening muscles in the eyes. These muscles help the iris contract in bright conditions and expand in darker environments. Age is a factor in this problem that indicates you need to see your eye doctor for an exam.
 

Problems When Working on the Computer

If you experience blurriness or burning eyes when working at your computer, you may be struggling with farsightedness or a condition called dry eye disease. Your Clarity Vision Center has solutions for both of these eye health problems. Simply schedule time to see your eye doctor.
 

Eye Strain

Do you get little spasms in the muscles around your eyes after working on your computer or reading for long periods of time? Do your eyes feel tired? Are they unable to focus well after a long period of driving? You could be suffering from eye strain or eye fatigue. Staying hydrated and taking frequent breaks from these activities can relieve your symptoms. But if they persist, see your eye doctor.
 

Frequent Headaches

Headaches can occur for many reasons. But vision problems are high on the list of these causes. Your eyes may be working too hard to focus, leading to eye strain and headaches. Glasses or contact lenses offer a solution for people with these vision problems. Schedule an appointment with Clarity Vision and see your eye doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
 

Double Vision

Double vision is a possible symptom of cataracts, cornea problems or issues with your eye muscles. If you experience double vision, do not wait to see your eye doctor.
 

Wavy Vision

Are solid objects with straight edges suddenly looking more fluid to you? Distortion in how you see objects or the appearance of faded colors can indicate macular degeneration. This is a problem seen in aging adults, one related to retina deterioration. It is a top cause of vision loss and something you need to take seriously. See your eye doctor sooner, rather than later.
 

Halos in Your Vision

Seeing halos around solid objects can indicate night vision problems. Or it can be a sign of cataracts forming in your eyes. Scheduling a visit with your eye doctor is important toward diagnosis and treatment before the problem gets worse.
 

Pain or Pressure In Your Eyes

Feeling any pain or pressure in your eyes is not something to ignore. See your eye doctor soon to undergo a simple glaucoma screening. This test provides immediate results for this highly treatable condition. There are other eye conditions that cause pressure or pain, so you need to see your eye doctor for the right diagnosis and treatment.
