The most common symptom of long sightedness is difficulty seeing objects clearly at close range, such as when reading, using a smartphone, or working at a computer. Other symptoms can include headaches after prolonged near-focus tasks, eye strain, squinting, and general visual fatigue. In children, long sightedness may go undetected for some time as the eye can compensate by exerting extra effort to focus. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, a consultation at Centre for Sight is a recommended first step.
