Refractive Error Assessment
Refractive error assessment is a comprehensive eye test used to detect vision problems like nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism, and presbyopia. It helps determine the correct prescription for glasses or contact lenses and ensures your eyes focus light properly for clear, sharp vision.
When Refractive Error Assessment is Needed ?
Blurred or distorted vision
Frequent headaches or eye strain
Difficulty seeing clearly at night
Squinting or needing to move objects closer or farther away to focus
Regular eye checkups to monitor vision change
How the Assessment is Done?
Visual Acuity Test: Measures how clearly you see at various distances.
Retinoscopy: Evaluates how light reflects off the retina to detect refractive errors.
Refraction Test: Uses a phoropter to determine the most accurate lens power.
Computerized Eye Testing: Advanced autorefractors provide precise measurements.
Prescription Finalization: Customized correction with glasses or contact lenses.
