Where Can Poor Distance Vision Be Tested and Treated?

Dear Anwarul hoda ji,

Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness or poor distant vision, is a vision condition where objects close up appear clearly, but objects far away appear blurry. 

Common Signs of Poor Distance Vision

• Squinting to see distant objects clearly
• Experiencing eye strain or headaches when looking far away
• Blurry vision while driving, watching television, or reading road signs
• Difficulty recognizing faces from a distance

If you are having difficulty seeing things clearly from a distance, you should visit an eye specialist (ophthalmologist) for a complete eye check-up. Poor distance vision can be caused by short-sightedness, a change in your glasses power, or other eye conditions. An eye test will help identify the cause and the right treatment.

What should you do?

• Book an eye check-up to get your vision and glasses power tested.
• If you already wear glasses, take them with you to the appointment.
• Avoid driving or riding a two-wheeler if you cannot see distant objects clearly.
• Do not use eye drops or buy glasses without proper advice from an eye specialist.
• Take regular breaks using the 20-20-20 rule if you spend long hours looking at screens.
• Ensure adequate lighting when reading or working.
• Get a professional eye check-up done annually to monitor any changes in your vision.

How Your Eyes Can Be Tested

• Snellen Chart Test: The standard eye chart test used by optometrists to measure visual acuity from a distance.
• Autorefractor Test: A computerized instrument that gives an objective measurement of your eyes prescription for distance glasses.
• Comprehensive Eye Exam: Evaluates overall eye health, checks for refractive errors, and tests eye coordination.

If you notice sudden changes in your vision, flashes of light, or severe eye pain, it is best to consult an eye specialist promptly. HexaHealth can help you connect with top ophthalmologists and book a comprehensive eye examination near you.
