Six out of ten adults have noticed their eyesight deteriorate over the past decade, with 40 percent sometimes suffering from eye discomfort or fatigue.
Yet, a surprising 31 percent still reckon their vision is sharp, and a confident 74 percent believe they're savvy enough to spot the tell-tale signs of failing eyesight, reports the Mirror.
However, this confidence hasn't stopped many from struggling with everyday tasks due to blurry vision. Some 20 percent of people have had trouble reading maps, 19 percent couldn't spot the right bus number, and 12 percent have even texted the wrong person.
Other blunders include misinterpreting crucial emails or texts (11 percent), losing important items (10 percent), and getting the wrong end of the stick with major news stories (seven percent).
Specsavers' seasoned optometrist Dr Josie Forte, with two decades of experience, suggests these mishaps could stem from presbyopia - a common condition where your eyes gradually lose the knack for focusing on close-up objects.
Dr Forte warns: "Subtle changes and impacts relating to our vision can often go unnoticed. But like many conditions, if these changes aren't addressed and treated, they can often get worse."
Watch out for these warning signs that your eyesight might be waning:
