Cover one eye at a time to check your vision at home. If your vision is blurry in either eye, set up an appointment with an eye care professional as soon as possible.
If you think you might need glasses, take these five at-home tests. If you answer “yes” to any or all of these questions, you should schedule an eye exam. 1. Sit 10 to 15 feet away from your TV and turn it to a sports game. Can you read the scores on the screen? 3. When driving, do you have to squint to read road signs or billboards? 4. Do you move books, papers or hand-held computer screens around to see them better? 5. Look through one eye at a time, holding your hand lightly over the other eye. Is your vision blurry in either or both of your eyes?
