Know about early symptoms of eye problems and where to go for the treatment

We can recognize the colours, creatures, and beautiful surroundings of this wonderful world because of our Eyes that are blessed by nature. We must take care of these two gems and should do everything to keep our vision healthy and alive.

We must go to see a good ophthalmologist in case we experience something unusual with our sight.

The eye problem symptoms may include:

• Headache
• Blurred vision
• Redness combined with constant irritation or pain
• Swelling under eyes
• White spots in pupil
• Sudden development of “water bubble floaters”
• Sudden change in vision
• Unusual pain
• Extraordinary sensation to light
• Difficulty reading something near or away

According to the problem with your sight, an ophthalmologist may suggest or ask you for the following tests:

• Visual acuity tests

It is the first test performed by an eye doctor in a hospital to check the near and far sight of your eyes. This test can be done by a digital eye checking machine or can be conducted through the alphabets reading procedure.

• Cover test

Your eye doctor assesses this test by covering an eye to know if you are having the symptoms of strabismus or amblyopia.

• Colour blindness test

This test is run by an ophthalmologist to find out if you are recognizing the wrong colours of an object.

• Stereopsis (depth perception) test

A pair of “3D” glasses are given by the doctor to recognize the depth of circles drawn in a book. It detects eye teaming skills.
