Glassery Optometry

We recommend a comprehensive eye test every two years or annually if you are over 65. If you have a specific eye condition or need to be monitored for one, our optometrist will inform you during your consultation and will set reminders for follow-up appointments. However, if you’ve noticed any sudden changes in your vision or visual function, it’s important to book an eye test as soon as possible to address any potential issues promptly.

A lot of eye strain can actually come from an uncorrected prescription or astigmatism. If you’re feeling discomfort when using digital devices, it might be time to get an eye test to check if your prescription is up to date. Besides vision issues, things like too much screen time, poor lighting, improper focus, glare, dry eyes, and bad posture can also contribute. To help reduce eye strain, try the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds), adjust your lighting, blink more often, take breaks, and maintain good posture. If you need corrective lenses or an anti-glare glasses, we can help with that too.

Signs that you might need an eye test include blurry vision, headaches, difficulty reading, frequent squinting, struggling to see at night, or experiencing glare or discomfort with light. If you notice floaters, eye pain, or any sudden changes in your vision or visual function, it’s important to see us right away. There are many other conditions that can affect your eyes, so booking an eye test as soon as possible will help us identify any potential issues and keep your vision healthy.

If you’re experiencing blurry vision, headaches, difficulty focusing, or struggle to see clearly while reading, it might be time for a check-up to update your prescription. Other signs that your prescription may need updating include difficulty driving at night, sensitivity to lights and glare, or squinting more than usual. If you find it hard to focus on things at different distances or your vision feels off, it’s a good idea to schedule an eye test. Keeping your prescription current ensures optimal vision and comfort in your daily activities.
