Do You Need An Eye Exam?

Vision is something most of us take for granted. It isn’t until there’s a noticeable difference that any of us start to realize how important a role it plays in all of our lives. An individual’s ability to see can slowly degrade over time, making it difficult for them to tell that it is actually happening. That’s why it’s important to schedule checkups with a Kuwait ophthalmologist like Ghassan Zein, MD at the Beverly Hills Medical Center in Kuwait. His expertise will help diagnose and treat any potential eye or vision problems before even the patient may realize it.

How do you know if your eyes need to get checked? The following is a number of important points that may indicate that it is time to get an eye checkup.

The Importance of Annual Eye Exams

One of the first things patients need to ask themselves is whether or not they’ve had an eye exam in the past two years. If you answered no, you are overdue on paying your eye doctor a visit. Regularly scheduling eye exams at least every two years (annual is much better) can greatly improve a patient’s general eye health and also help catch any potential problems. It’s important to remember that as we get older, it’s not uncommon for our vision to degrade. That’s why it’s doubly important for both men and women over the age of 40 to be vigilant about regularly scheduling an eye exam.

Blurry Objects & Difficulty Focusing

If at any time you realize that objects that were once easy to see are now blurry or that your eyes are having difficulty focusing, it’s time to get your eyes checked. Sometimes these are symptoms of a much larger issue and should be immediately checked by a Kuwait ophthalmologist like Dr. Zein. These issues can be very serious and should be treated as such. Be sure to seek immediate help by setting up an appointment with your nearest ophthalmologist.

Headaches

While it may not be obvious to some, headaches can be a symptom of vision problems. The slow rate at which vision changes occur can be imperceptible, but headaches are a common side effect. If you are regularly experiencing headaches, it may be time to get an eye exam.

Squinting

Squinting allows individuals to see better because it cuts down on additional light that enters the eye, temporarily increasing one’s vision. Squinting in babies is one of the first signs that vision problems may be present and the same goes for adults. If patients find themselves squinting to see certain objects or read text, it usually means that their vision is reducing and that they need to see their eye doctor.
