Although it’s important for everyone to visit their eye doctor for a comprehensive eye exam at least every two years, sometimes it might be necessary to schedule an appointment earlier. At the optometry center of Dr. Ron Sealock in Dothan, AL, he and his team provide a full range of optical services. They also offer affordable eyeglasses to ensure their patients always have correct fitting eye prescriptions.

In case you haven't been to your eye doctor recently, here are a few signs you might need eyeglasses: 

• Blurred Vision: If you have recently noticed your eyesight tends to get blurry when you’re trying to read or focus on other objects, this is a serious sign to schedule an appointment with your eye doctor. Blurry vision can be a sign of deteriorating vision, but it can also be a sign of a much larger health issue.
• Frequent Headaches: An uptick in headaches or a sudden occurrence of them if you've never had a problem can be a symptom of strained eyes. Headaches could also be accompanied by frequent squinting, nausea, and eye fatigue. Eyeglasses should resolve your headaches if they were being caused by waning eyesight.
• Sitting Too Close To Screens: Sometimes people who have never worn glasses or corrective eyewear, don't realize the reason their phone or laptop screen now needs to be closer to their face is because of their declining vision. However, for safety reasons, this should be corrected with a pair of glasses as soon as possible.
