7 Signs You Need an Eye Exam

When Should You Get an Eye Exam?

Many eye conditions develop gradually, making them easy to miss. Here are 7 signs that it's time to schedule an eye exam.

1. Frequent Headaches

Persistent headaches, especially after reading or screen time, can indicate vision problems or eye strain.

2. Blurry Vision

If objects appear blurry at any distance, your prescription may have changed or you may need corrective lenses for the first time.

3. Eye Strain or Fatigue

Tired, sore eyes after normal activities like reading or working on a computer suggest your eyes are working harder than they should.

4. Difficulty Seeing at Night

Trouble seeing in low light, halos around lights, or glare sensitivity can signal developing cataracts or other conditions.

5. Squinting

If you find yourself squinting to see clearly, it's a classic sign that you need vision correction.

6. Eye Pain or Pressure

Any persistent eye pain, pressure, or discomfort should be evaluated promptly by an eye care professional.

7. It's Been Over a Year

Even without symptoms, adults should have comprehensive eye exams at least every 1-2 years.
