Before you visit us, we invite you to keep reading to learn more about nearsightedness and farsightedness!
Being nearsighted means that you can see objects clearly up close, however, objects that are farther away can be blurry and out of focus. You may also have difficulty driving without vision correction, as it is challenging to see other cars, street signs, or traffic lights clearly. Along with that, you might be squinting constantly for better clarity and have headaches.
Those who are farsighted see objects that are far away more clearly, but they can't see items that are up close as well. You might have trouble reading a book or seeing your computer screen without eyeglasses or contact lenses. Our optometrist will perform an eye exam to evaluate your vision and recommend a treatment that will correct your vision.
Eyeglasses are the most common treatment for nearsightedness and farsightedness. The eyeglasses can help you see your entire field of vision more easily, which will reduce blurry vision. As a result, you will be able to accomplish tasks at work or school without problems and have clearer vision when driving.
