Signs It's Time to Change Your Eyeglasses Prescription

Whether you've been wearing eyeglasses for years or just a few months, you should probably be aware that your lens' prescription can change over the years. There can be several reasons why your eyes have changed, but it is important to know when it's time to visit your eye doctor.

Worsening Vision 

This is one of the most obvious reasons why you would need to see an eye doctor. If you've noticed that your vision is getting blurry or that you can no longer see things you used to be able to see, then it's time for a new eye exam.

Frequent Headaches

It can be hard to determine if your vision is getting blurrier, particularly if there have only been small changes to your eyes. As your eyes try to adjust to the changes in your eyes, the change in the visual information can cause stress to the optic nerve, causing you to have more frequent headaches. Specifically, these headaches will occur most often when a person is doing an activity that requires a high amount of visual concentration, such as reading, using a computer, or sewing.

Difficulty Reading or Seeing Distant Objects 

If you are nearsighted and suddenly can't read, or if you're farsighted and are now having trouble seeing objects in the distance, it's probably time to schedule an appointment with your eye doctor. It may be time to consider a prescription for bifocals or progressive contact lenses.
