Like any other professional she didn't have the time to show to a physician. But recently her headaches worsened and she couldn't focus on the finer details while doing her sketches which made her think about her vision. She never had glasses all her life and always thought she would never need one. But due to the headaches and not being able to see clearly; she went to an optician store and got her eyes checked and got the pair of glasses.
