Symptoms of vision problems mainly arise in individuals with a family history of vision disorders, such as myopia, astigmatism or farsightedness, for example.
Some of the most common symptoms of vision disorders include:
- Excessive tearing;
- Hypersensitivity to light;
- Frequent headache or eyes;
- Redness in the eyes;
- Close your eyes to see the objects in focus;
- Eyes diverted to the nose or out;
- Rub the eyes several times a day.
Whenever these symptoms appear, it is recommended to consult an ophthalmologist to make an examination, diagnose the problem and initiate appropriate treatment.

Treatment for vision problems
Treatment for vision problems depends on the type of vision change, the most common being the use of lenses or glasses to correct the degree.
However, individuals may also opt for surgery to correct the physical changes of the eye and improve vision, as is the case with Lasik.
In simpler cases, such as inflammation of the eye, the ophthalmologist may indicate the application of eye drops to resolve the problem.
