Common Signs You May Need Glasses

Seeing Light Halos

All vision comes from the brain's ability to interpret light. Different light waves bounce off of objects, enter the eyes, and the brain interprets the patterns the eyes pick up. However, glare and light halos can be a sign light is causing issues with your vision. Light halos are bright circles surrounding a light source. You might see them around headlights or street lamps, and they might make it difficult to navigate when you drive. Some light halos can be strong enough to cause discomfort, and you might need to look away to avoid being blinded by them. When the glare and halos are strong enough, the light can become disabling by eliminating your ability to see anything past the brightness. Halos tend to occur when you're in a dark or dim place, like if you're driving on a dark road at night. Nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism can all cause the retina to have problems interpreting light signals. All of these can be treated with glasses.
