7 Signs that Your Vision Is In Poor Condition

You Don't Notice Details Anymore

Think about those clumsy moments mentioned above. When you dump food on yourself while eating, do you notice it, or do you find yourself walking around all day with a stain on your shirt that you haven't seen? Do you often knock things over because you didn't even notice they were there? What about looking for something in your home? Are your spouse and/or children accusing you of missing things that are right in front of your face? Can you stand in front of a shelf and simply be unable to find something that's directly in front of you? Do you become unduly upset when people move things because once they aren't where you left them, you know you'll never be able to find them again?

If you're struggling to notice the small details of life, from missing a friend's new jewelry to discovering that you've put your makeup on incorrectly at the end of the day, it's likely that your vision loss is to blame. If you want to go back to being able to clearly see everything around you, it's time to seek out an eye exam!

You Are Having Issues Driving

One of the first signs of vision loss may be trouble reading street signs when you're searching for a particular road or trying to follow directions. Unfortunately, dangerous driving behavior due to vision loss likely won't stop there. You'll find yourself drifting when you're on the road. You won't be able to stay within your lane as easily. Worse, you'll struggle to adhere to traffic laws as you blow past speed limit signs or fail to notice that the light has changed until you're already beneath it. Pay attention to others' reactions to your driving behavior. If your kids are starting to look a little nervous when the time comes for them to get in the car, your vision loss may be causing more problems than you think.
