Myopia (Near-sightedness)

Difficulty seeing distant objects clearly. Rapidly increasing in Indian children due to increased screen time and reduced outdoor activity.

Hyperopia (Far-sightedness)

Difficulty focusing on near objects. Mild hyperopia is normal in young children but needs correction if causing symptoms.

Astigmatism

Irregular corneal curvature causing blurry vision at all distances. Very common and easily corrected.

Presbyopia

Age-related difficulty reading small text, starting around age 40. A universal condition — everyone eventually needs reading glasses.

Computer Vision Syndrome (Digital Eye Strain)

Eye discomfort from prolonged screen use. Affects 50-90% of computer workers.

Before Your Visit

Bring your current glasses or contact lenses — even old ones help track prescription changes
Remove contact lenses before the appointment if soft lens eye test is planned (ask when booking)
Note your symptoms — distance vision, near vision, screen use, headaches, dry eyes
List medications you take — some drugs (steroids, certain BP medicines) affect eyes

During the Appointment

Be honest during the eye test — say when you genuinely cannot read letters, don't guess
Mention your primary visual needs — driving, computer work, reading, sports
Ask about lens options — single vision, bifocal, progressive, photochromic (auto-darkening)
Discuss contact lens options if interested — daily disposable, monthly, toric for astigmatism

After the Visit

Allow 1-2 weeks to adjust to new glasses — progressive lenses take longer
Follow contact lens hygiene strictly — never sleep in lenses unless specifically approved for overnight wear
Return if your vision doesn't feel right after adjusting to new glasses — the prescription may need fine-tuning
Schedule your next check-up before leaving — regular monitoring prevents problems

An Optometrist performs eye examinations, prescribes glasses and contact lenses, and detects eye diseases for referral to an ophthalmologist.

For eye diseases, injuries, or surgical conditions, you need an ophthalmologist (eye doctor with medical/surgical training).
