460 Sneaky Signs You Need Reading Glasses

The most obvious symptom is blurry vision, but there are other surprising clues you might be overlooking.

The muscles in your eyes work hardest when you focus on close-up or detailed work, like when you’re reading or working on the computer. If you need glasses, those muscles work even harder to help you see clearly. Because that isn’t a natural position for the eyes, they can get tired, which makes you feel sleepy. If reading glasses alone don’t help, try blinking more often or pushing your computer farther away from you. This will keep your eyes more relaxed.
