Sensation of tired eyes, sensitivity to light, tearing and itching in the eyes, are some symptoms that can be indicative of a vision problem, such as myopia, astigmatism or hyperopia, for example, especially when they remain for several days in a row.
When these symptoms appear, they should be evaluated by an ophthalmologist, in order to confirm if there is a vision problem and start the most appropriate treatment, relieving the discomfort.
Treatment for vision problems varies according to the problem diagnosed, and the use of eye drops may be indicated, in the simplest cases, or surgery to correct vision in the most serious cases.
Top symptoms of vision problems
Symptoms of vision problems are more common in people who have a family history of eye conditions, and may include:
- Excessive tearing;
- Hypersensitivity to light;
- Feeling tired eyes;
- Difficulty seeing at night;
- Frequent headache;
- Redness and pain in the eyes;
- Itchy eyes;
- Viewing duplicate images;
- Need to close eyes to see objects in focus;
- Deviation from the eyes to the nose or out;
- Need to rub eyes several times a day.
Whenever some of these symptoms appear, it is recommended to consult an ophthalmologist so that specific tests are carried out to diagnose the change in vision and, thus, start the most appropriate treatment. Find out how the eye exam is done.
Treatment for vision problems
Treatment for vision problems depends on the type of change in vision, the most common being the use of lenses or glasses to correct the degree. In addition, in simpler cases, such as inflammation of the eye, for example, the ophthalmologist may indicate the use of eye drops to solve the problem.
In addition, in some cases, it is also possible to opt for surgery to correct the physical changes in the eye and improve vision, as is the case with Lasik, which is a surgical technique in which a laser is used. Learn more about the surgery and how recovery is done.
