Typical eye conditions and sight problems that could make you think that you need to wear glasses or have your current prescription changed include:
Myopia or nearsightedness makes one have difficulty seeing distant things clearly. Nearsighted people can typically see properly on tasks that are up close.
Hyperopia or farsightedness is when a person has trouble with their eyesight while performing tasks or objects that are up close but has normal distance vision.
Presbyopia is when a person over 40 years old normally loses the ability to focus closely.
Clouding in the natural lenses of the eyes, called cataracts, is the usual cause of sight loss in those who are above 40 years old. These can be treated through surgery and implanting intraocular lenses (IOL).
CVS (computer vision syndrome) is brought about by excessive usage of electronic equipment or devices that have screens such as tablets, smartphones, and computers. CVS could also indicate that you have to wear glasses.
Headaches, light sensitivity, burning, red eyes, blurred vision, dry eyes, and eye strain could indicate CVS, as well as back, shoulder, and neck pain.
Anyone spending a majority of the day looking at screens has a high chance of developing CVS, including kids. CVS can be treated with prescription computer eyeglasses.
