A refractive error is a problem with the eye’s ability to focus light accurately on the retina resulting in blurred vision

If you’d like to know the ins and outs of refractive errors we have all the information you need below

Refractive errors in incidence / prevalence

A refractive error is a problem with the eye’s ability to focus light accurately on the retina due to the shape of the eye.

Rates vary between regions of the world with about 25% of Europeans and 80% of Asians affected.

Refractive error types

The most common types of refractive error are:

  • near-sightedness (myopia)
  • far-sightedness (hypermetropia)
  • Astigmatism
  • Presbyopia (affects most people over the age of 45)

Refractive errors diagnosis and examination process

The diagnosis of a refractive error is usually confirmed by your optometrist during an eye examination using a number of lenses of different optical powers.

Refractive errors treatments

It’s possible to treat refractive errors with glasses and contact lenses; however, the inconveniences that come with these visual aids make vision correction surgery an attractive alternative.

Laser eye surgery or lens replacement can correct your refractive error and remove your dependency on glasses and contact lenses altogether.

I have a solution that can help you turn back the clock

Yes, I’ve worn glasses my whole life

If you’ve worn glasses your whole life, presbyopia (the loss of near vision as you age) means adding yet ANOTHER pair of glasses to your collection just so you can read a menu, see the text on your phone or tell the time on your watch.

I can sort this out.

Yes, but I’m new to glasses

If you’re new to glasses, buckle up because the frustrations have only just begun. Presbyopia (the loss of near vision as you age) means you’ll now depend on glasses for even the most minor of tasks. Whether that’s working on the computer, reading labels on the back packaging, or simply reading a book.

I can sort this out.
