Eye Symptoms

Vision, one of our five senses, is perhaps the most relied upon in our daily lives. For this reason, eye health is essential. Vision is one of the most delicate systems in the human body, so any unusual symptoms or sensations should be brought to the attention of an eye care professional immediately to ensure proper treatment and continued function. The following common eye symptoms are a few which may require a visit to and an examination by your eye care professional.

Eyeglasses

Eyeglasses are a timeless approach to vision correction. Their ease of wear and variety of styles make eyeglasses an attractive option for many. Typically used for vision correction, glasses come in many types and are classified by their primary function such as correcting refractive errors, magnification, sun protection and safety. They also appear in combinations such as prescription sunglasses or safety glasses with enhanced magnification. Sometimes glasses are worn simply for aesthetic or fashion purposes. Understanding the basics about eyeglasses allows you to consult with your eye care provider and make the choice that is best for your lifestyle.
