Medical Video: Eye Examination
When you begin to feel something is wrong with your vision, the only way is to check with your eye doctor to find out the condition of your eye health. You will most likely be prescribed glasses, but keep in mind that you may not diagnose yourself and buy glasses just by experimenting, without knowing what you really need.
Dr. John Lahr, EyeMed medical director, said that the symptoms that often appear in the eye are very broad, so the only accurate way to find out what the problem is is to check with an ophthalmologist.
Below are ten symptoms in the eye that require further action:
1. Blurred eyes
If you cannot recognize your friend about 3 meters away, or you cannot see the writing in the magazine at close range, then there is a possibility that you have nearsightedness or farsightedness.
2. It's hard to see at night
If your vision becomes blurred at night so you cannot see your cat in the yard at night, then you are likely to experience cataracts.
3. Difficult to get used to from dark to light
That means the muscles that help the eye to contract weaken. Usually caused by increasing age.
4. Blur when looking at a computer screen
Have you ever been busy working at the computer, but suddenly the writing or picture on the monitor suddenly looked blurry? This may be myopic initial symptoms. Start your day by looking at the same page on your computer, but with different distances every day. Then observe the difference to see if there is progress (or even setback) in your vision.
5. Tired eyes
Tired eyes are what will happen if you have blurred vision but still force yourself to see without the help of glasses, namely by squinting your eyes or often rubbing and winking to clarify your vision. Tired eyes can also be caused by too long driving, writing, or staring at the monitor screen.
6. Repeated dizziness
When the mechanism of the cornea and eye lens fails to focus on an object, the small muscles in the eye are forced to work hard. The result is the eyes become tired and cause headache. It's easy, if you have to squint to see an object, you need glasses.
7. Shaded vision
You most likely have problems with the cornea or eye muscles. Can also be symptoms of cataracts.
8. Wavy vision
When straight lines look bumpy and the color looks faded, maybe this is a symptom of macular degeneration, which is a decrease in the middle function of the retina and can cause total vision loss.
9. See halos
If you are looking at an object and the object has a circle of light even though there are no objects that can reflect light around you, there is a possibility that you have cataracts or darkness. This circle of light usually appears more often when you see it in the dark.
10. Pressure on the eyes
When you feel pressure on the back of your eyes, there is a possibility that your eyes will glaucoma. First check with the ophthalmologist.
What happens if I have to wear glasses?
According to Dr. Penn Moody, founder of Moody Eyes, has 4 easy steps to help you adapt to using glasses, namely:
1. Use glasses every day
Using glasses every day will speed you up to adapt to glasses. Use it according to doctor's conditions. Take off the glasses when you feel dizzy and use them again when the dizziness subsides.
2. Move your head, not your eyes
Beginner glasses users often complain of dizziness because they move the eyes too much. Move your head, not the eyeball, to minimize dizziness, even though you will need time to fully adapt.
3. Clean the lens regularly
Dust and stains will make it difficult for you to adapt to new glasses, so do regular lens cleaning.
4. Store the glasses safely
Before going to bed, keep the glasses in the box to avoid bending and scratching the lens. Besides being unsightly, damage to the glasses will also slow down the adaptation process.
