Millions of individuals all over the world wear glasses, but many who could benefit from a glasses prescription don't have one. As we get older, our vision naturally worsens, but many individuals don't have regular appointments with an optometrist to check their vision, especially if they're used to seeing in 20/20. Though individuals might think a vision problem would be obvious, many don't realize they have vision issues because the changes can be incredibly gradual. In addition, certain activities make individuals more prone to vision problems. If individuals read a lot or stare at a screen all day, they have a higher likelihood of vision decline, as these activities naturally cause eyes to deteriorate. Being aware of the signs of vision issues can help individuals know when to make an appointment for an evaluation.
