3. Your eyesight is continually changing
Conditions such as presbyopia come into effect as the eye’s muscles deteriorate over time so, even if you had an eye test 2 years ago and were given the all clear, it is important to have a check up to ensure that nothing has changed. Polling also showed that just under quarter of the respondents had spotted symptoms of poor eyesight but hadn’t yet visited the optician. Making do with squinting or holding things close to your face while reading is not a good idea. It will only cause any condition to worsen, with symptoms such as headaches making life more uncomfortable.
This year, take care of yourself and your eyes. It only takes a little bit of effort to have a test and could help you treat or even prevent a condition.
