Your eyes are some of the most valuable body parts that you depend on, and if you have blurry vision and dry eyes, it's time to get professional care. If you've been living your life wearing cheap glasses that you get at a drug store or superstore and you've never had your vision treated properly, you'll want to make an appointment.

You could be making your vision far worse than it already is, and you could be causing a lot of problems for your ocular health. Here are a few things you want to do to stop the progression of your poor vision.

Prescription Glasses

Go to an optometrist or an ophthalmologist and have your vision tested. Not only will they look to see how bad your sight is, but they will also test to see if you have ocular degeneration, irritation, and more. Once they have diagnosed your problem and assessed your sight, you will be given a prescription for glasses. This prescription allows you to get glasses at a local ocular supply store or online, and there you can find stylish options designed for comfort.

Lubrication

If eye drops that you've been purchasing aren't helping, it may be time to get a different type of lubrication. Talk with the eye professional about what the best eye drops are for your eyes and about getting a prescription for the eye drops that will soothe your dry and irritated eyes. It's worth paying more for relief.

Limited Screen Time

Limiting your screen time could greatly reduce the irritation and dry eyes that you have. You can do this by:

  • Calling instead of emailing or texting
  • Printing out paperwork you get emailed to you or that you want to read online
  • Setting a timer on the television
  • Putting your phone or tablet away

These are just a few of the ways that you can spend less time in front of the screen and how you can try to get rid of the dryness and irritation you have.

If you are currently dealing with headaches, this is most likely from the dry eyes and poor vision. Talk with an eye doctor at a clinic like White Bear Eye Clinic & Optical about the headaches, and make an appointment with a doctor if the headaches don't go away after you vision is corrected with the prescription glasses. The glasses should make a big difference in the way you see and how you work.
