Take care of your eyes, because even if you don't notice it, they may be silently asking for help.
Have you ever stopped to think about how much we rely on our vision every day? Just opening your eyes in the morning is enough to start using them: reading text messages, checking the clock, cooking, driving... everything! And yet, many people don't pay attention to their vision health until a problem arises.

Eyes get tired too… did you know that?
It seems obvious, right? But many people don't realize that eye strain is real. In fact, it can manifest itself in a variety of ways:
- Frequent headache
- Blurry vision at the end of the day
- Burning sensation or dry eyes
- Need to close or squint your eyes to focus
And the most worrying thing is that many symptoms are confused with other things, such as stress or general fatigue. That's the problem: we don't act in time.

Why take a vision test from home?
Because it is fast, free and revealingIt doesn't replace a professional consultation, of course, but it helps detect potential warning signs that go unnoticed. Wouldn't it be useful to discover, for example, that you have the beginnings of astigmatism or mild myopia without knowing it?
With the apps we'll show you below, you can:
- Measure your visual acuity
- Evaluate color sensitivity
- Check for distortion in peripheral vision
- Monitor your symptoms with regular testing
Who should worry about this?
Well, everyone. But some groups need to be more vigilant. Here are some common cases:
- Children and adolescents: With excessive use of screens, visual problems are increasing rapidly.
- Adults working in front of a computer: Prolonged exposure to blue light can lead to chronic eye fatigue.
- People over 50 years old: increase the risks of presbyopia, glaucoma and macular degeneration.
And it's not just about age. Did you know that lack of exposure to natural light also harms eye health? A curious fact: studies show that children who play more outdoors have a lower risk of developing myopia.
What causes the most common vision problems?
We might think it's just a "thing that comes with age," but the reality is more complex:
- Prolonged use of screens without adequate breaks
- Poor lighting in the reading or work environment
- Deficiency of vitamins such as A, C and E
- Lack of restful sleep
- Eye strain from reading small print or driving at night
What starts as a mild discomfort can develop into something serious if ignored.
