Common Signs You May Need Glasses

Issues Seeing At Night

A variety of conditions can lead to issues seeing at night, though only some of these can be corrected with glasses. Night blindness occurs when someone has trouble seeing in the dark. Some medications lead to night vision problems, and cataracts can also cause night vision issues. If you think you have an underlying medical condition causing your problems with night vision, talk to an ophthalmologist. This specialist can diagnose many different types of eye diseases, rather than just those that require glasses. If the problem with your night vision is related to nearsightedness, a glasses prescription can help. Many individuals experience issues seeing at night as they get older, especially when facing the glare from headlights or street lamps. Other conditions that can cause night blindness include glaucoma, diabetes, vitamin A deficiencies, and retinitis pigmentosa.
