A refractive error is an error in the focusing of light by the eye and a frequent reason for reduced visual acuity. Refractive errors occur when the shape of the eye prevents light from focusing directly on the retina. The length of the eyeball (longer or shorter), changes in the shape of the cornea, or aging of the lens can cause refractive errors.
TYPES OF REFRACTIVE ERRORS:
The most common types of refractive errors are myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism.
Blurred vision is the most common symptom of refractive errors. Other symptoms may include:
An eye care professional can diagnose refractive errors during a comprehensive dilated eye examination. People with a refractive error often visit their eye care professional with complaints of visual discomfort or blurred vision. However, some people don’t know they aren’t seeing as clearly as they could.
