Have you found yourself needing stronger glasses more often? You're not alone—and it might be more than just “getting older.”

When your prescription keeps changing, it could be a signal that something more serious is happening beneath the surface. Conditions like cataracts, uncontrolled diabetes, or changes to the shape of your cornea can quietly affect how well you see. Even early signs of glaucoma or retinal issues can sometimes show up as subtle shifts in your vision.

The key is not to just update your glasses—but to understand why things are changing.

📞 If it feels like your vision is constantly in flux, give us a call at 719-559-2020. We’ll take a deeper look and help you stay ahead of any issues before they affect your daily life.
