Could A Reading Vision Test After The Eyes Have Been
Question: Could a reading vision test after the eyes have been dilated make the test results not valid? I never needed reading glasses before, but my results indicated I need them now. I had the prescription glasses made and have tried to use them but the words seem less clear and harder to read with them on. It's mainly that there seems to be a haze and the glare is harsh. I'm not sure it's that the prescription is wrong or just that I'm not used to using reading glasses.
Brief Answer:
Usually reading glasses are needed after 40
Detailed Answer:
Hey thanks for the question . Reading glasses are needed after 40 as the near vision gets weak around that age . But the symptoms you have described dont fit into that . Glare and haze shouldnt be there . I would advise a reconsultation with your doctor to work on these issues and a repeat eye examination to see if any new issue has cropped up . Hope it helps . Regards
