Headaches, fatigue, poor concentration... What if it's your eyesight?
Do you ever get a headache at the end of the day? Do your eyes get tired after a few hours in front of the computer? Or find it hard to concentrate? These symptoms, often trivialized, may in fact be linked to a vision problem or a visual correction that is no longer appropriate.
Discover these 5 signs not to be ignored that it's time to have your eyesight checked by an ophthalmologist.
Repetitive headaches
Migraines or frequent forehead pain can be a sign of constant visual strain. When your eyes have to compensate for inadequate correction, they put extra strain on your eye muscles, leading to tension and pain.
Increased visual fatigue
Heavy, stinging or burning eyes after just a few hours' work? This fatigue may indicate that your glasses or contact lenses are no longer correcting your vision properly.
Decreased concentration at work or school
It's hard to stay attentive when you can't see clearly. Whether you're watching, reading or even driving, blurred vision can have a direct impact on your concentration and daily performance.
Blurred or hazy vision in certain situations
Have you noticed that you have to squint to read in the distance, that road signs seem less sharp, or that your eyes don't adapt well to changing light conditions? These signals are not to be ignored.
Driving at night becomes a nuisance
Many people experience more pronounced visual discomfort in the evening: difficult night-time driving, halos of light around headlights, or blurred vision in low light. These are signs that your eyes are tiring faster than before.
Why consult an ophthalmologist?
These symptoms should not be taken lightly. They may reveal :
- Obsolete visual correction (your glasses/lenses no longer correspond to your current vision).
- An undiagnosed visual disorder (myopia, astigmatism, presbyopia, hyperopia...).
- An eye problem requiring medical attention.
A simple eye check can identify the cause and restore comfort and visual performance.
Why not take this opportunity to say goodbye to glasses?
If you're tired of alternating between glasses, contacts and regular appointments, refractive surgery could be the answer. It provides long-term vision correction using laser or implants, offering visual freedom for everyday life.
⚠️ Important: Refractive surgery is a surgical procedure that must be carefully considered. It is not suitable for everyone, and a full assessment with a specialist is essential to determine whether you are eligible for refractive surgery and thus guarantee your safety.
If you regularly experience headaches, eyestrain or reduced concentration, don't let these signs go unnoticed.
Make an appointment for a visual check-up: it's the first step towards regaining comfort, efficiency... and why not, visual freedom without glasses?
Going back to school with a clear vision changes everything!
