How To Know If You Need Corrective Lenses

By Jim Thorpe


Since she was a very small child, the world had seemed, to Charlotte, a little different than the way others described it. Her friends and parents would speak of the rocky face of the mountain, the sharp and pointy rooftop of the church next door, and the stark stripes on the tiger at the zoo, but she just couldn't understand. How can they say the mountain is bumpy, she wondered?

If you have difficulty seeing objects that are far away, yet have no problems viewing items up close, then you might be suffering from nearsightedness. This is one of the most common symptoms of worsening eyes. If you have difficulty reading text on distant signs, poor night vision, or an inability to see the television clearly, then you probably have nearsightedness.

The exact opposite of the previous symptom that we discusses, farsightedness allows you to see distant objects easily, but makes it difficult to focus on them once they are up close.

Since we spend a lot of our time reading and examining objects at close range, those with farsightedness usually suffer from frequent headaches, eyestrain, and excessive blinking.

This is the world, she wondered? My friends and family had it right, she silently exclaimed! And then, out loud, she asked the boy, "How do I get a pair of these?" and he answered, just two words, "eye doctor." And that night Charlotte asked her parents to use their vision health insurance for a trip to the optometrist.

Those affected by astigmatism have a distorted eye shape, which can affect their ability to see both far away and up close. One of the most identifiable symptoms of astigmatism is seeing an uneven blur, with certain areas of vision being more distorted than others. Seeing double and having watery eyes is also an accurate indicator of this disorder.

While there are many diagnosable vision disorders, one of the most reliable indicators of vision problems is your level of comfort. If using your eyes to read or examine things for extended periods of time causes you to suffer from eye pain, headaches, or any other discomfort, then it's always a good idea to go see the eye doctor, just to make sure that you don't need corrective lenses.

While having a vision disorder is no fun, there are ways to help people with these conditions see normally. So if you think you may be suffering from any of these eye problems,

She was very grateful for Dr. Ais, and her vision insurance, and so, Charlotte went home with her new contacts, and was able to choose which world to see, when she chose whether or not to wear contacts each morning.
