Eye tests

[Smithy]

Been having problems with my eyes lately had an eye test about 2 weeks ago and told me my eye sight is fine last time I went to get an eye test at specsavers was at 2010 and specsavers are saying my eyes/eye sight is the same.

But I am wondering can spec savers capture any brain tumors? Just wondering I guess I don't have any of these because I don't feel dizzy, sickness etc..

But I basically stare at my computer monitor and my TV for around 8 hours a day.
Could I have eye strain? It feels though I have a migraine when I bend down I feel the pain in my eyes took a migraine tablet and it rarely diapers. Not worried just wondering what the issue could be? I guess a day from my PC/TV would help my eyes?

Thanks.

Yes it is possible to find a tumor or signs of a tumor during an eye test, but you do need an MRI or another test to confirm the possibility. Your eye doctor will let you know, but you should also contact your regular doctor if you think you've got one and then can refer you to a specialist. Hopefully that is not the case and you're just suffering from eye strain. Until then, look away from the computer every 15-ish minutes and take about a 5-10 minute computer break. Walk around, stretch, close your eyes and just take deep breaths, anything you can do to help your eyes refocus.

Thanks! Also if I tap my eye I get a small pain so I am highly guessing I have eye problems due to looking at screens pretty much all day. Back to work soon anyway so that will hopefully stop a lot of the pain.

I wouldn't assume it's a tumor right away. There is probably a much simpler explanation as to what it actually is since malignant and terminal brain tumors are rather rare considering the population.

Try some pain relieving eye drops see if that helps.
