11. Changes in color vision.
Do colors no longer look as vivid as they used to? This change may indicate problems in the optic nerve.
One possible cause is optic neuropathy, often related to diabetes or hypertension. It may also be an early sign of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which affects the center of the retina. Changes in color perception are not always noticed right away, but if you detect anything unusual, it’s best to consult.
12. Extreme sensitivity to light (photophobia).
If light bothers you more than usual, you may have photophobia, a symptom of several conditions. The causes can range from something as mild as a migraine to an eye infection such as keratitis, endophthalmitis, or even meningitis.
It is also common in people who suffer from dry eye syndrome or who spend long hours in front of unprotected digital displays. If you work with a screen all day, adjust the brightness, use blue light filters, and take breaks every 20 minutes to blink and look away. If you notice any strange changes in your vision or eyes, no matter how minor, don’t let it go.
