So your vision is not what it used to be, but you can get by just fine, right? Not exactly. For one reason or another, people find excuses to not wear glasses even when they need them. While it might seem harmless to forgo your glasses, there are a few not-so-harmless reasons to make sure you never leave home without your specs.
Safety First
If your vision can benefit from glasses but you don’t wear them when driving, you are putting yourself and anyone else on the road at risk. Clear vision is essential to save driving. As they say, “better safe than sorry.”
Don’t Hurt Your Work
If you don’t wear your glasses, you’ll most likely struggle with eyestrain. Eyestrain is the result of your eyes working overtime to read or focus. The biggest symptoms of eyestrain are chronic headaches, double vision, blurry vision and of course tired eyes. It’s no question that headaches and blurry vision can rob you of your focus and energy at work.
Keep Up With Your Eyes
Even if you wear your glasses, it’s important to make sure your prescription is up to date. Prescriptions that are too weak or too strong can be just as harmful as not wearing your glasses at all. Make sure to have your annual eye exam to stay on top of any vision changes that may come your way.
