The retina, or the colored part of your eye, is responsible for converting light into nerve signals and sending them to the brain for visual recognition. When this function begins to be defective, a refractive error occurs, resulting in distortions in your vision.

There are four types of refractive errors that you may acquire due to various factors such as age, injuries, genes, surgeries, trauma, and other conditions. and this is;Myopia – Myopia is a condition that makes things look blurry. The problem can develop gradually or quickly and worsen the condition during adolescence. Blurry vision, frequent staring, headache with eye strain are some of the common symptoms of this condition.

Farsightedness – here occurs farsightedness or problems with vision in nearby objects. People in the acute stage may see objects at a distance, while those with mild hyperopia can see up close. The condition is usually present at birth and often comes from genes.

Astigmatism – this is a condition in which near and far vision becomes blurred. Astigmatism is caused by mismatched curvatures of the eyeball. Refractive errors can occur from birth or occur as a combination of nearsightedness and farsightedness.

Presbyopia – here, the lens of the eye cannot move and is unable to bring objects into focus. The problem comes as you get older and you can see it most commonly in people over the age of 40. If you hold your reading material at arm’s length, you must be suffering from presbyopia. You can confirm the condition with an initial eye exam at New Vision Eye Center.

Glasses and contact lenses are used to repair refractive errors that gain clear vision when worn. However, these treatments cannot prevent your eyes from deteriorating or prevent prescription changes over time.
Eyeglasses and contact lenses may not be the best choice with restrictions and discomfort on certain occasions. Laser surgery has come to solve all these problems and benefit you for a lifetime of clear vision.
