You’ve all heard it before. “I’m nearsighted,” or “I’m farsighted,” and possibly even “I have an astigmatism”. All of these conditions are types of refractive errors, which is a type of vision problem that can make it hard to see clearly. In fact, uncorrected refractive error is one of the top two reversible causes of blindness in the US, along with cataracts. In this blog post, we will delve into the world of refractive errors, shedding light on myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia.

Refractive errors are the most common eye conditions. They affect children and adults. Studies suggest these conditions usually run in families. The conditions occur when the eyes fail to focus light correctly, leading to blurry or distorted vision. The common refractive errors are myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. They are usually corrected using eyeglasses, contact lenses, or surgery.
