There are a few signs indicating that you may need glasses (or to change your current eyeglasses prescription) nearsightedness, farsightedness, and presbyopia are all signs.  Nearsightedness is also called myopia, making it difficult to see distant objects, while farsightedness is called hyperopia, which means you have problems with near vision. Presbyopia occurs with aging, and it appears in people over 40. Spending too much time using a computer may result in red eyes, blurred vision, and eye strain. If you begin to notice any of these symptoms, schedule an appointment with us here at H. Rubin Vision Center.

Your Eye Exam

When you come to visit our optometrist, our team will ask about your medical history. Next, our staff will test your eyes, using diagnostic equipment, to measure your distance vision. Other tests will determine the accuracy of your vision. Our optometrist will use that information, along with their examination of your eyes, to determine whether you need corrective lenses.

The reason eyeglasses can help correct your vision is related to the anatomy of your eye. When we see, the light and images we view are projected via our inner lens onto our retina, and the image is sent to our brain. Vision problems can occur when the lens of your eye is altered.  Eyeglasses can correct those conditions when our vision is altered by myopia or hyperopia. The curve of the lenses are precisely cut to change how the light is projected onto the retina.
