Refractive errors are a common eye disorder that affects the ability of the eye to focus light properly, resulting in blurred vision. There are three main types of refractive errors:
Refractive errors can be corrected with prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses that are designed to compensate for the specific refractive error. Refractive surgery, such as LASIK or PRK, can also be used to reshape the cornea and correct refractive errors. The type of correction needed will depend on the specific type and severity of the refractive error, as well as the patient's individual needs and preferences. It is important to have regular eye exams to detect and manage refractive errors, as they can affect daily activities and may lead to other eye problems if left untreated.
