Hard to See Even with Glasses

My glasses are no longer suitable for seeing everything! Your eye condition may have changed.

Many factors may be at play

• Don’t you feel your eyes are strained due to environmental factors at work? If your eyes are continuously strained due to an increased workload requiring you to look at nearby objects, it can cause symptoms of eye fatigue or amblyopia.
• Aren’t you having difficulty seeing objects within arm's reach due to your age? As age-related hyperopia worsens with age, you will find it hard to see objects within arm's reach. This puts strain on your eyes, and you will soon feel eye fatigue.
• Has your eye condition not changed? As the axial length of the eye increases, myopia worsens. And if you continue to wear glasses with an inappropriate prescription, you will feel a decline in your vision. Additionally, an eye condition causing a decline in vision and quality of vision (QOV) also decreases if you feel glare.
• Has the condition of your lenses changed? A coating on the lenses peeling due to degradation or dirty lenses due to poor maintenance can make objects appear less clear.

Measures / Improvements

• First, visit an eye clinic and receive appropriate treatment based on symptoms.
• Improve your working environment or take breaks to relax your eyes.
• Warm your eyes to improve blood circulation.
• If you often look at nearby objects while working, consider using bifocal or progressive lenses for intermediate/near vision or lenses that assist near vision and relax your eyes.
• Get new glasses according to your needs.
• Keep your glasses clean.
