Many people associate eye health solely with the ability to “see clearly” at a distance or up close. If they can read signs, use their phone, or drive without obvious difficulty, they assume their vision is fine. However, vision health goes far beyond clarity.
Frequent headaches, eye strain, difficulty focusing, or a heavy feeling in the eyes can be early signs that something isn’t working properly—even when you feel like you “see normally.” In many cases, these symptoms develop gradually and become normalized, delaying an eye exam that could prevent more serious discomfort.
