Every time our eyes shift their gaze from one object to another, they accommodate their focusing power so that each object appears crisp and clear. Focusing problems arise when the ciliary muscle—the muscle responsible for accommodating focus—can’t easily relax, tighten or maintain its position.
Symptoms of focusing problems may include:
- Holding objects near objects close to the face
- Headaches during or after reading
- Blurred vision
- Watery eyes
- Difficulty reading or avoiding reading
- Blurred vision when shifting focus from one object to another
- Frequent eye rubbing
If you or a loved one are experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above, it may be time to have your vision evaluated. Please call Pursuit Vision Center (717) 983-8836 to schedule an evaluation to determine if vision therapy may be beneficial for you!
