Do i need specs

2020-06-07 19:19:06
Hello doctor, I got my eye checkup done exactly a year back that is in june 2019. at time i had a complete dilated eye checkup all reports were normal. I had a number of -0.50 in left eye and no number in the right eye. Of late i have been having headaches. I'm constantly on phone of laptop working for this i even got anti glare specs but i don't feel comfortable wearing them. Should i get myself re tested?
