Question: How do they test your reading vision!?
Well they gave me a laminated sheet to read and it had loads of paragraphs (big letters to small letters)!. I can read the last paragraph effortlessly!. But I can't see distant things without my glasses at all!. Does this mean my close up vision is perfect and will I need reading glasses ever!?
My mum, I think, will need reading glasses!. I made her read small print but she can't!. What do I say to make her to go the opticions!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I might be able to help since I'm 49 and well within the age range for developing presbyopia!. I'm nearsighted and have been since the age of 10!. When I was younger, I used to be told by eye care professionals that when I got into my 40s, presbyopia would start correcting my vision so I would become less nearsighted!. What has actually happened is that I'm still as bad as I ever was!. However, my close up vision is still quite good without glasses or contacts!. Instead of using bifocals or reading glasses, I just use regular glasses and either take them off or peer over the tops when I need to read small print!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
If you can read up close but can't see far away, you are near sighted (myopia)!. Your eyes naturally focus at near!. The good news for near sighted people is that they will always have the ability to read up close without the help of glasses!. The only downside is the constant need to remove your glasses to read when you get older!.
Your mum cannot read small print because she is likely far-sighted (hyperopia) and also have presbyopia!. Far sighted people see better far away than near!. Presbyopia is an age related loss of focusing ability!.
Your mum should see an eye doctor to prescribe the glasses that will maximize her visual function!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

It means at the moment you are short sighted - you can see things clearly close up but when looking far away, it gets blurred!.
This can change as you get older so ive been told (im short sighted myself)!. Apparently your eyes change and many people actually become long sighted, and therefore do need different glasses to cope with it, but for now just keep having regular eye tests!.
If your mum can't read up close very clearly, then yes she may need reading glasses!. If as well she is noticing headaches or its affecting her day to day life, then this is probably a good excuse to go get her eyes checked out!Www@Answer-Health@Com

The optician will ask you to read(line by line), from a chart that has different letters on it!. If you ever reach a line that you are unable to read, the optician will then ask you to look through some lenses and try reading the line again!. If you can read the entire chart, then there will be no need for glasses!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Your eyesight changes throughout your life - so there is every possibility you will need reading glasses at some point in your life!.
Everyone is recommended to get their eyes tested at least every 2 years, more often if there are certain problems within family circles such as glaucoma - it strikes me as silly that people don't just do this!.
Where is the benefit in NOT getting them tested!?!Www@Answer-Health@Com
