Refractive Error Assessment
Refractive Error Assessment
Refractive Error Assessment is a detailed eye examination to identify vision problems caused by the eye’s inability to focus light correctly on the retina. Common refractive errors include myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, and presbyopia. Early detection ensures optimal vision correction and prevents eye strain.
When Refractive Error Assessment is Needed
- Blurred vision at near or far distances
- Frequent headaches or eye strain
- Difficulty reading or focusing on objects
- Squinting or tilting the head to see clearly
- Routine checkups for children, adults, and seniors
What the Assessment Includes
- Visual Acuity Test: Measures clarity of vision
- Refraction Test: Determines the exact lens power required
- Retinoscopy & Autorefractor Test: Measures how light bends in the eye
- Eye Health Check: Ensures no underlying eye condition is affecting vision
