What are High Refractive Errors?
High Refractive Errors, also known as high myopia (nearsightedness) or high hyperopia (farsightedness), refer to significant deviations from the normal curvature of the eye. In high myopia, close objects may be seen clearly, but distant objects appear blurry. Conversely, in high hyperopia, nearby objects may be blurry, while distant objects are clear.
How Can High Refractive Errors Affect Vision?
High Refractive Errors can cause significant visual challenges, impacting daily activities such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces. Without appropriate vision correction, high refractive errors may lead to eye strain, headaches, and difficulty performing routine tasks.
Why is Early Detection Important for High Refractive Errors?
Early detection of high refractive errors is essential, especially in children and young adults, to prevent potential complications and manage vision effectively. Regular eye examinations play a vital role in identifying and addressing refractive errors promptly.
What are the Symptoms of High Refractive Errors?
Symptoms may include blurred vision, squinting, eye strain, headaches, difficulty focusing on objects at various distances, and increased sensitivity to light.
How are High Refractive Errors Diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves a comprehensive eye examination, including visual acuity testing and refraction. Our ophthalmologists use advanced technology to precisely determine the extent of refractive error and create a tailored treatment plan.
What are the Treatment Options for High Refractive Errors?
Treatment options for high refractive errors may include prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses with high-powered lenses to correct the vision. Laser eye surgery, such as LASIK or PRK, may also be considered in certain cases to permanently reshape the cornea and improve visual acuity.
Can High Refractive Errors Progress Over Time?
High refractive errors, particularly high myopia, can progress during childhood and adolescence. Regular eye examinations are crucial to monitor changes and provide timely adjustments to vision correction.
