You should first consult an ophthalmologist to ensure that there are no serious underlying eye diseases (such as eye pressure, progressive diseases, retinal problems, glaucoma, etc.).
If you or your child occasionally or even often exhibit any of these symptoms, you may need glasses.
NB: In all cases, if the problems do not disappear after two months despite a properly adapted and worn optical correction, it is recommended to consult a neurologist.
Headache: Usually at the front of the head, especially after prolonged reading, at the end of the day, or after screen use.
Rubbing of the eyes, dry eyes, feeling of heaviness and eye fatigue.
Your child comes close to the screen, reads close by.
You may have farsightedness and/or astigmatism.
In children, it is strongly recommended to check the refraction at least once in follow-up after the use of cycloplegic drops (which block accommodation for several hours).
This examination makes it possible to reveal the optical power that needs to be corrected, without causing too much eye fatigue.
Wearing rest glasses is usually temporary and provides greater comfort as well as optimal vision development in childhood.
