It’s natural for your vision to weaken over time. Even if you never wore eyeglasses when you were younger, you’ll likely require it in middle age or later. In fact, more than 90% of people over 50 wear corrective eyewear, and virtually everyone over 75 does. As such, it’s important to schedule regular eye exams as you age, even if you’ve always had perfect vision. If you experience any of the following issues, see an eye doctor right away.

3 Signs You Need Corrective Lenses

1. Poor Night Vision

Do you find it hard to drive at night? If your night vision seems worse than usual— for example, if you notice halos around headlights or streetlamps — it could be indicative of nearsightedness. You may also have trouble determining how far away approaching vehicles are. 

2. Chronic Eye Strain

3. Trouble Reading

Is the font on your phone set to the largest size? Do you have to hold restaurant menus at arm’s length just to order? If you have difficulty reading, it’s one of the surest signs that eyeglasses or contacts are a must.
