Watch out for these vision problems
When it comes to our sight, many times we take it for granted. However, sight is a fragile sense that you’ll miss sorely when it starts to deteriorate. Luckily, you can always call a professional when you notice issues with your eyes. While not everything signals a problem, it’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your eyesight. Here are a few things to look out for and be sure to call a local eye care professional for treatments. Keep an eye out for these vision problems:
Change in Eye Color
This is a rare condition that should not be taken lightly. While it’s not uncommon for a person’s eye color to change slowly over the course of their life. A short, drastic change could indicate a serious problem – contact a trained professional for an eyesight evaluation. While clothing and makeup can give off an appearance of a change in your eye color, things like too much exposure to the sun which leads to an increase in melanin production or your diet can cause a change in your eye color, too. If your eye color changes to a more yellowish or greenish hue, it could be a sign of your vision problems being related to a health issue.
Bumps
Other vision problems to be on the lookout for; if you notice bumps around your eye or on your eye, this is something that you should contact a professional eye care specialist with. While these don’t always signal vision problems, bumps and growths can be uncomfortable and visually unpleasant. Contact our staff for an evaluation of new bumps and growths.
Floaters
Floaters are a relatively normal occurrence that doesn’t always signify vision problems. However, it is important to have this checked out by a professional to ensure there really is no issue. Eye floaters refer to spots in your vision; black or grey specks that always flee when you try to look at them directly. If you start to notice an increase in eye floaters – contact an eye specialist soon.
Loss of Vision
If you’ve briefly lost your vision for any reason, it could be a sign of serious vision problems, you should notify an eye care physician. A thorough examination should be given to ensure there are no problems or underlying issues that need to be addressed.
Color-Blindness
It is possible for someone to go color-blind over the course of their life. However, that in of and itself should tell you that something is not right. Any temporary or permanent color blindness-related vision problems should be discussed with an eye care professional.
