Vision changes can happen so gradually that you might not notice them until they start affecting your daily life.
Here are the key warning signs that it is time for an eye check-up:
1. Frequent Headaches or Eye Strain
If you or your child frequently experience headaches after reading, working on a computer, or watching TV, it could be a sign of uncorrected vision.
2. Squinting or Closing One Eye
Squinting improves focus by altering the shape of the eye. If you notice your child squinting to see the board at school, it is time for an exam.
3. Holding Books Very Close
Children with myopia (nearsightedness) often hold books very close to their faces. This is a strong indicator that an eye exam is needed.
4. Frequent Eye Rubbing
While sometimes a sign of allergies, frequent eye rubbing can also indicate eye strain or fatigue.
We recommend annual eye check-ups for children and adults. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, book an appointment with our eye care team today.
