Your eyes are talking to you โ are you listening?
5 signs itโs time to get your eyes checked ๐
1๏ธโฃ You often squint
If you constantly squint or tense your eyes to see clearly, itโs a sign your vision is struggling and needs support.
2๏ธโฃ You hold things very close
If you need to hold books, your phone, or labels very close to your face to read them, it may be time for a proper eye assessment or a visual aid.
3๏ธโฃ You avoid reading
If you used to enjoy reading but now avoid it because it feels tiring, gives you headaches, or you lose track of the lines, itโs not just โlazinessโ โ your vision may have changed.
4๏ธโฃ Light really bothers you
If light feels very uncomfortable, makes you squint, or makes it hard to see details, it can be a sign of light sensitivity or low vision.
5๏ธโฃ You bump into things or trip often
If you frequently hit corners, miss steps, or struggle with changes in levels or lighting, there might be an issue with your visual field or contrast sensitivity.
If you recognise yourself in any of these signs, consider booking an eye exam.
