Your vision is only as clear as your lenses allow. Wearing outdated or incorrect prescription glasses can lead to subtle—but impactful—vision issues that may develop into more serious eye health concerns over time.

Signs you might need new glasses

Beyond just blurry vision, here are a few lesser-known signs it could be time to upgrade your glasses

Eyestrain or Headaches

Experiencing regular headaches, tired eyes, or blurry vision—especially after screen time or reading—can be a sign that your current prescription isn’t meeting your needs. Even slight changes in your vision can increase eye strain.

Glare and Halos

If you're noticing more glare or halo effects around lights, particularly when driving at night, your lenses might be the culprit. Tiny scratches and worn coatings can scatter light, distorting your vision. New lenses with a precise prescription can reduce this effect significantly.

Ghosting or Double Vision

Seeing faint double images or "ghosting" in your vision may indicate that your lenses are no longer properly aligned with your vision needs. This can result from outdated prescriptions, worn lenses, or poor lens fit—prompting the need for a new pair.
