10 Signs You May Need Glasses | Vision Source

Do you experience frequent headaches? Are you squinting a lot? It may be time to get glasses.

Approximately half of the U.S. wears some sort of corrective lens. But many people who would benefit from vision correction don’t even know they have a problem or are avoiding the trip to their eye doctor.

You may be thinking, “I’ve gone all these years without needing glasses, why now?” The answer is simple. Our vision changes over time. Just like a car, we need to maintain our eyes, if we want them to function properly. And the best way to do that is by scheduling a yearly eye exam with your optometrist.

Are you wondering if it’s time for glasses? The list below will reveal some of the common signs. 

  1. Frequent headaches
  2. Blurred vision (farsightedness)
  3. Poor distance vision (nearsightedness)
  4. You’re seeing double vision
  5. It’s hard to see at night
  6. You’re experiencing eye strain or eye fatigue
  7. Reading or computer work is compromised
  8. You’re constantly squinting
  9. You have difficulty with light adjustments
  10. You see halos when you’re around light

These signs don’t necessarily mean that you have poor vision, but they do indicate that you’re at least due for a trip to your eye doctor. 

Instead of waiting another year, give yourself the gift of clear vision now. Contact your Vision Source eye doctor to schedule a comprehensive eye exam in your area.

Dry Eye Treatment in Santa Monica

Dry eyes rarely have one cause, so we don’t start with a prescription. We start by finding out why your eyes are dry, then build a plan around daily habits and home care, because that is what makes the biggest difference. If you need more, we offer IPL, radiofrequency (RF), punctal plugs, and prescription treatments, with a follow-up plan so you always know what comes next.


Myopia Management for Kids in Santa Monica

If your child’s prescription keeps getting stronger, it’s worth acting early. We start myopia evaluations at age 4. We’ll explain what rising nearsightedness can mean over time and what to expect as school demands grow and puberty arrives. Then we choose an option your child will accept: atropine drops, Stellest lenses, MiSight contact lenses, or orthokeratology (overnight lenses). We check progress every few months and adjust as your child grows.


Specialty Contact Lens Evaluations in Santa Monica

Told that contact lenses won’t work for you? Often there is a way. We evaluate multifocal, scleral, mini-scleral, and hybrid lenses, including lenses for keratoconus and for eyes after surgery. With corneal topography and trial lenses in every style, we find what works for your eyes. We have helped patients who were told elsewhere that contacts weren’t an option.
