Refractive Errors
Refractive errors are common eye conditions that cause blurred vision because the eyes do not focus light properly.
The main types include
1. Myopia (difficulty seeing distant objects clearly),
2. Hyperopia (difficulty seeing both near and distant objects clearly),
3. Astigmatism (blurred or distorted vision at all distances)
4. presbyopia (age-related difficulty reading or seeing close objects).
These conditions can be diagnosed with a simple eye examination and are usually corrected with prescription glasses, contact lenses, or laser vision correction.
Regular eye check-ups and timely treatment can help you enjoy clear, comfortable vision and improve your quality of life.
