When Do You Need an Eye Exam?

Having an eye exam is very important for maintaining your eye health and vision strength, whether you currently wear glasses or not. With the advancement of eye test technology, it’s now easier to detect any changes in your vision early and get prescription glasses precisely customized to your needs.

It’s recommended to have an eye exam at least once a year in Saudi Arabia, even if you don’t have noticeable problems, since many eye conditions begin without visible symptoms.

Signs That You Need an Eye Exam

One of the most common questions is: “When should I take an eye test?”. Here are the key signs that it’s time to visit a specialist:

Frequent Headaches

One of the most common signs that you need an eye exam is recurring headaches caused by eye strain when reading or using your phone for long periods.

Difficulty Focusing or Blurred Vision

If you experience blurred vision while driving or watching TV, it’s time for an eye test to identify the cause and get prescription glasses suited to your condition.

Squinting or Closing One Eye

Some people unconsciously close one eye to see better. If you find yourself doing this, it’s a clear sign that you need an eye exam immediately to check for any minor astigmatism or vision imbalance.

Eye Fatigue from Screens

Prolonged use of digital devices causes eye strain. If you feel dryness, irritation, or burning in your eyes, taking an eye test can help determine if you need blue-light protection glasses or prescription glasses designed for screen use.

The Importance of Regular Eye Tests

Regular eye tests help detect changes in your vision early—whether it’s nearsightedness, farsightedness, or slight astigmatism. Test results allow you to create prescription glasses that offer clear vision and comfort in work, study, and driving.
