What is Reflective Error ?
Refractive error is a type of visual impairment that makes it difficult to see clearly. It occurs when the shape of the eye prevents light from being properly focused on the retina (the light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye).
Refractive error is the most common visual impairment. More than 150 million Americans have refractive errors, but many don't realize they can see better. Therefore, eye examination is very important.
If you have refractive errors, your eye doctor may prescribe glasses or contact lenses to help you see clearly.
- Diplopia.
- Blurred vision.
- Glare or halo around bright lights.
- Squinting.
- Headache.
- Eyestrain (when the eyes are tired or tired).
Concentration when reading or looking at a computer
Some people may not be aware of the symptoms of refractive error. It is important to have regular eye exams.
If these symptoms persist despite wearing glasses or contacts, you may need a new prescription. If you have vision problems, consult an ophthalmologist for an examination.
- Eye length (eyeball too long or too short)
- Problems with corneal shape (clear outer layer of eye)
- Lens aging (inner part of eye) Usually clear and eyes to help focus)
There is usually nothing you can do to prevent eye damage. There is no way to prevent refractive errors because they are caused by changes in the shape of the eye, cornea, lens, or in these parts of the eye. Also, there is nothing you can do to prevent a child from being born with a refractive error.
An ophthalmologist can correct refractive errors with glasses or contact lenses, or correct refractive errors with surgery.
- Glasses - Glasses are the easiest and safest way to correct refractive errors. An optometrist will prescribe the correct lenses to provide the sharpest vision possible.
- contact - Contact lenses are worn on the surface of the eye to correct refractive errors. Your optometrist will put you in the right lenses and show you how to clean and wear them safely.
- Surgery - Several types of manipulations, such as eye surgery, such as laser eye surgery, can change the shape of the cornea to correct refractive errors. Your eye doctor can help determine if surgery is right for you.
