Understanding Refractive Disorders
Refractive disorders, often referred to as refractive errors, are the most common vision problems that occur when the shape of the eye prevents light from focusing directly on the retina. The length of the eye, changes in the shape of the cornea, or aging of the lens can all contribute to these conditions.
Common Types Include:
- Myopia (Nearsightedness): Distant objects appear blurry.
- Hyperopia (Farsightedness): Near objects may appear blurry.
- Astigmatism: Distorted vision at all distances due to an irregular corneal shape.
- Presbyopia: Age-related loss of focus for near objects.
