If vision has become cloudy or dim, glare from headlights or sunlight troubles you, colours look faded, or your spectacle number keeps changing, it is worth getting your eyes examined. Only an eye examination can confirm whether a cataract is the cause.

People living with diabetes are advised to have their retina examined regularly, even without symptoms. Sudden blurring, dark floaters, a shadow across your vision or straight lines appearing bent should be checked without delay.

Persistent burning, grittiness, redness or watering — especially with long screen hours — deserves an examination. Pain with light sensitivity or a white spot on the cornea should be seen the same day.

Glaucoma often causes no symptoms until vision is already affected, so a check is advisable if it runs in your family or you are over 40. For children, an eye that turns in or out should be assessed early.

A lump or swelling on the eyelid that does not settle, a drooping lid, or a fleshy growth spreading over the white of the eye is worth examining. Any injury to the surface of the eye should be seen the same day.

Headaches while reading, holding the phone closer than usual, difficulty seeing the board or road signs, or simply a prescription older than a year — all are good reasons for a vision test.

After a fall or injury, get it examined if there is severe pain, visible deformity, swelling that keeps increasing, or you cannot bear weight or move the limb normally.

Joint pain that lasts beyond a few weeks, stiffness in the morning, swelling, or difficulty climbing stairs and squatting is worth assessing before it limits daily activity further.

Back pain that radiates into the leg, numbness or tingling, weakness in a limb, or pain that disturbs sleep should be examined. Loss of bladder or bowel control with back pain needs emergency care immediately.

A fracture from a minor fall, loss of height, a stooping posture, or a family history of osteoporosis are all reasons to have your bone health reviewed.
