From the time we are in Kindergarten, we are encouraged to take care of our eyes and among many other things, we are told that we should visit the Optometrist (Eye Doctor) on a regular basic.
Not only are these examinations by the doctor able to reveal if there are any vision problems, but they are also able to reveal if there are any other physical illnesses such as hypertension and diabetes.
However, the main reason as to why we should visit the Optometrist is to care for the health of our vision. Nevertheless, there are more involved in having these tests done.
As we grow older, we cannot take this care for granted, but at no stage in our lives should we take our eyes for granted.
Indeed, in addition to having a check-up, we should do things such as eat our vegetables, especially carrots and read in the appropriate lighting conditions and so forth, to care for them.
However, as we grow older, if we find that we are faced with the following challenges, it is time for our check up.
No Dark Colors
When it comes to buying clothing or any other things that has to do with colors, if for some unknown reason, you find that you are gravitating to bight colors instead of dark one, then the reason behind this might have to do with your eyes.
Misjudgments
This is a big indication that there may be a need to have a check up and that is, you are making misjudgments. That is, if you were going to put a glass of water on the table and you misjudged where the table was and it fell onto the floor.
Additionally, if it has become a bit harder for you to thread a needle or pick up a small item that fell on the floor, go and get them looked at because this is a big indication that something is wrong.
Night Blindness
Nyctalopia is the medical term for Night Blindness and it can be defined as someone’s inability to see clearly in the night or in very dim conditions.
There are many reasons such as the lack of victim A, and Cataracts as to why a person may suffer from this. Yes, it is caused by a disorder in the vision area.
Nevertheless, during the day or, when the lighting conditions are bight, you can see alright, therefore, you may be tempted to think that nothing is wrong. However, it is best to have this looked at.
Eye Movement
If you find that your eyes are moving without you controlling them, you should go to your doctor as quickly as possible.
