Online tests can give you an idea of how well your eyes are performing. For example, there are online versions of the famous Snellen Eye chart (the list of letters that we are all familiar with from visits to the optometrist). These tools work by steadily reducing the size of a line of letters, until they become almost impossible to read. You'll have to make sure that your head stays the same distance from the computer screen (no cheating!), and if you do, you should get a good idea of how good your vision is.

If you keep asking yourself 'do I need glasses' test your vision to find out for sure. Another way to test your eyesight is to head outside and take twenty paces from a road sign. If the sign isn't crystal clear, glasses may well be needed. Tests like this can tell you whether you have issues with short or long-sightedness. If you do, the next step is to make an appointment and get a prescription. After that, log onto the Express Glasses store and find a pair or two of glasses that suit your style and needs. We will add lenses to fit your prescription and send them to you the very same day. That way, you can sort out your vision problems with a minimum amount of fuss.
